A unicorn horn, also known as an alicorn, is a legendary object - many healing powers and antidote's virtues were attributed to the horn of the unicorn. These properties made it one of the most expensive and most reputable remedies during the Renaissance,and justified its use in royal courts.
Seen as one of the most valuable assets that a king could possess, unicorn horns were exchanged and could be purchased at apothecaries as universal antidotes until the 18th century. Other horns were displayed in cabinets of curiosities. The horn was used to create sceptres and other royal objects, such as the "unicorn throne" of the Danish kings, the sceptre and imperial crown of the Austrian Empire, and the scabbard and the hilt of the sword of Charles the Bold. The legendary unicorn was never captured, but its symbolic association with virginity made it the symbol of the incarnation of God's Word, innocence and divine power (Wikipedia)
