The Met Store Louis Sherry Unicorn in a Garden 12-Piece Chocolate Tin* Tableware

Gifts for art lovers.

The Met and heritage chocolatier Louis Sherry are delighted to introduce finely crafted treats made with ethically sourced ingredients from around the world. Since 1881, Louis Sherry has shared the French chocolate-making tradition with New Yorkers, and over 100 years later, their chocolates are presented in a traditional tin recast from the original 19th-century box. 

This 12-piece tin made exclusively for The Met showcases a detail from The Unicorn Rests in a Garden (1495–1505), an iconic French and South Netherlandish textile at The Met Cloisters. The medieval masterwork depicts a unicorn resting in a garden enclosure beneath a pomegranate tree, enveloped by a millefleurs backdrop of richly symbolic plants.
