Peacock Alley Vienna Jacquard Duvet & Sham Bedding

vienna-duvet_jacquard-blog


Peacock Alley creates an inviting bed, dressed in a whispered palette of ivory and platinum.  The Vienna collection, featuring a medallion design, is offered in a duvet, shams, and boudoir pillow and can be combined with a number of Peacock Alley coordinates in throws, coverlets, and sheeting.  We especially like the Virtuoso sheeting collection for this ensemble because of the hemstitch detail.   Timeless appeal and soothing colors make the perfect classic bedding ensemble.  Now also available in white.  100% Egyptian cotton, yarn-dyed jacquard.  Made in Portugal.

Dransfield & Ross House Alhambra Bedding Collection

Alhambra-I-Blog


Evocative of the iconic royal residence of Albambra in Granada, Dransfield & Ross extracted the keynotes in a realization of this quintessential Moorish aesthetic bedding. The Albambra was created in the fourteenth century during what was perhaps the zenith of Moorish design and culture. The Moorish style of architecture incorporated a wide swath of influences from the broad territory that the Andalusian Moors at that time controlled in Europe as well as North Africa. There is a timelessness and sophistication about Moorish design that we find particularly relevant to our current global sense of the world.


Dransfield & Ross paired this verde gris cotton velvet with ice color linen appliqued in a classic fret pattern for the duvet as well as shams and decorative pillows. Extracting and reducing the fret, they quilted this pattern on the velvet coverlet and on the shams for a subtle play of texture and geometry.


The decorative pillows in this collection include Dransfield & Ross’s silver glazed linen rag knit pillow, against appliqued fret in linen and cotton, velvet ribbon pillows in a modernist geometric application and their jeweled and embroidered pillow in a more organic design to juxtapose against mix of rectilinear textures. The bed skirt is tailored with a velvet ribbon border applique.
