9188-Rigatino is a Signature Exclusive Hearst Castle® design inspired by a pair of hand-woven, chenille casement curtains hanging in the cloister bedrooms of Hearst Castle®. Our version of this design is an open weave casement pattern, woven on a lino linen warp and accented with textured, twisted rayon novelty yarns, and two types of rayon chenille. Rigatino gives dramatic architectural interest by forming large, bold horizontal stripes in various sizes, which creates a strong, sophisticated statement in any room setting. Rigatino is offered in five colorways and is shown here in Castano. The ground of Rigatino is also available in a solid casement, as pattern 9189-Alassio, and is available in four colorways.

9185-Tesoro is a Signature Exclusive Hearst Castle® design inspired by exquisite hand-carved, gilded, and elaborately painted wood panels found in a bedroom in Casa Del Mar. Our version is woven on silk warps with intricate weave details and a subtle dimensional surface, which creates a trapunto effect. Tesoro is available in eight beautiful colorways and is shown here in Azul.

9174-Venusta is a Signature Exclusive Hearst Castle® design inspired by a 17th Century altar frontal. This magnificent artifact once hung in the Assembly Room and has since been moved to the vaults for preservation. Our version is woven with impeccable detail, capturing the look and whimsical charm of the original embroidery. Woven at an impressive 360 thread count, this pattern meets abrasion results of 30,000 double rubs. Venusta is available in ten marvelous colorways and is shown here in Castano.

9181-Canasta is a Signature Exclusive Hearst Castle® design inspired by a chair upholstered in a silk velvet, jacquard floral, circa 1900. This beautiful antique is located in the sitting room of Casa Del Monte and was first used by Hearst and his wife, Millicent, in the early 1920’s. Our version features a dramatic floral arrangement surrounded by an ogee floral frame. Canasta is woven with rayon fill yarns and a luxurious rayon chenille ground and is then washed to emulate the Old World antiquity of the original piece. Canasta is available in seven colorways and is shown here in Castano.
