– Valencia (left) is a
Signature Exclusive Newport Mansions Doris Duke multipurpose silk
velvet design. Valencia was inspired by an 18th
century hand-painted silk wall-covering found in Doris Duke’s
music room at Rough Point. Valencia is woven with a 100% silk face on a
wire loom incorporating both a cut velvet texture and, in certain areas,
left uncut for an interesting epingle that complements the velvet. Both
textures are offset by the Egyptian mercerized cotton satin ground, which
is a smooth, sleek contrast to the luxurious two textures. Valencia is
constructed by the use of the very best silk weaving looms and silk velvet
yarns. This three color fabric is achieved by weaving on triple beams
which is a very costly and time consuming technique. Valencia is offered
in five colorways and is shown in color Mirage.
9715 – Versailles (right)
is a Signature Exclusive Newport Mansions Doris Duke multipurpose
silk embroidery design. Versailles was inspired by an exquisite 18th
century hand embroidered floral silk upholstered on a Louis XVI sofa and
chairs, located in the Yellow Room, a sitting room Miss Duke created to
display some of her best pieces. This incredible furniture set is stamped
by the furniture maker to the French royal court, N.Q. Foliot. Versailles
is a hand-guided 100% silk embroidery, elegantly rendered with original
detail onto a three-ply duppioni silk. Versailles is offered in four
colorways and is shown in color Mirage.
