I have often mentioned the Biltmore House in my writings. I love the civility with which dining and entertaining has been governed throughout the home’s history. Every time I tour the estate and gardens, I am inspired by the wonderful colors and textures. I can’t imagine being a new bride and rounding the corner to find that Biltmore was my new home, complete with every possible appointment all planned down to the last detail.
It is no surprise that Biltmore for Your Home, a gorgeous line of products, finds its way into homes across the country. The beauty of the carefully selected fabrics and colors is so inspiring. Biltmore for Your Home has captured the elegance of Biltmore in these lovely creations.
Enchanting (pictured at top)
This charming and beautiful floral is printed on a textured jacquard ground and brings polish and color to your bedroom. The inspiration for this ensemble was based on the many Magnolia species on Biltmore estate, on the original plant lists, and in the earliest nursery catalogs. The most popular species is the Traditional Southern Magnolia that grows on the estate and is admired for its large, fragrant white blossoms and elongated, dark glossy green leaves. A Magnolia tree was planted in honor of the birth of Cornelia, George and Edith’s only child, and was named “Baby Tree.” Find your escape in this garden of beauty and serenity.
Virginia
This lovely salmon-colored floral design with sage accents and meandering leaves will bring brightness to your spring. The ensemble was inspired by a portrait of Mrs. Rathbone Bacon and Virginia Purdy Bacon, a cousin and close friend of Mr. Vanderbilt’s, found in the Oak Sitting Room at Biltmore. The classic bedding ensemble with the slate blue crinkled bed skirt and embroidered decorative pillows will complete your bedroom retreat.
Sanctuary
This is the first linen collection offered in the Biltmore line. The creams and taupe are accented with a lovely turquoise. Linen fabric is featured in many of the textiles found in the house and is still as popular today as it was in the days of the Vanderbilts.
One lucky winner will receive the bedding of choice from the three pictured here. Your gift includes the comforter and two shams in your choice of king or queen size, plus one decorator pillow.
