One-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle is inspired by couture lace
A filigree lace-like base — a unique style of jewellery invented in the Middle East — forms a triple-run stitch, creating a mesh structure intertwined with satin stitch that shapes the floral elements with a silk-like sheen, while raised accents echo the original pearl details. In total, the piece comprises more than 160,000 stitches.
A waterfall section between the rear seats continues the shimmering floral theme with a delicate embroidery echoing the botanical detail and comprising about 70,000 stitches. The speaker grilles of the Phantom are also finished in rose gold, complementing the embroidery tones. The interior is completed with Sunrise and Grace white leathers, embroidered 'RR' monograms on the front and rear headrests and a Piano white veneer.
The Phantom Dentelle's exterior is presented in a two-tone finish, the lower body in Crystal over arctic white and the upper body in Crystal over Palais nemasker dawn — a colour reserved for the commissioning client's exclusive use. A hand-painted motif of a leafy branch with pearl 'berries' reflects the artwork theme inside.
The car rides on 22" fully polished disc wheels with body-coloured centres and Arctic white centre pinstripes. The polished Pantheon grille is crowned with the Spirit of Ecstasy in rose gold; as are the engraved treadplates.
