Rough Point Revisited

I constantly find myself intrigued by fellow Sagittarian Doris Duke, as I'm sure many of you are. I think many of us are swept away by the entire idea of her painfully beautiful life. Known by most as a wanderlust stricken heiress, many design lovers know her for sense of style and prolific and diverse collections and her patronage of the arts. Doris' left behind her ecclectic legacy, in part, by her many homes. Her summer home in Newport boasts Frederick Law Olmsted (Central Park, Biltmore Estate) lawns and gardens and beautiful promontories looking out over the ocean. Doris spent her summers there, occaisonally in the company of exotic animals such as camels.
Rough Point, was originally built by Frederick Vanderbilt and later purchased by Doris' father in the early 20's. The home is now in the hands of the Newport Restoration Society. Doris herself founded the Newport Restoration Society in 1968.
Now ( I hope I'm not behind on this) Pindler & Pindler, like so many of us, have drawn on one of those homes, Rough Point, as the inspiration for a series of fabric in their Newport Mansions line. Here are Pindler & PIndler's descriptions of the fabrics:
Duquette-"...was inspired by a Chinese silk satin embroidered wall hanging which originally belonged to Doris Duke’s mother Nanoline; then later carefully installed as a bed canopy in Miss Duke’s bedroom. Duquette is an exquisite and elegant rendition holding true to the original document with careful attention to every subtle detail. Duquette is embroidered on a 100% silk satin ground which allows for a sumptuous, alluring, yet quiet elegance. Duquette is offered in two colorways and is shown in Seville" (left, in photo above)

Valencia- "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 Seville."(right, in photo above)

So what do you think of the fabrics? Do they strike you as decidely Doris?
