Newport Mansions Doris Duke Mirage

9725 – Valencia (left) is a Signature Exclusive Newport Mansions Doris Duke multipurpose silk velvet design. Valencia was inspired by an 18^th 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 18^th 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.
