Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle Is Adorned with Delicate Embroidery
Rolls-Royce has revealed another bespoke one-off, the Phantom Dentelle, which was commissioned as a present for the buyer's father. The Dentelle has two-tone bodywork, pairing Arctic White with a unique Palais Nemasker Dawn hue and a thin coachline that includes a depiction of a leafy plant. The floral imagery appears again on the dashboard and between the rear seats, embroidered with intricate, multi-layered stitching. Did you forget Father's Day this year and feel guilty about it? Well, get ready to feel even worse, because the latest one-off Rolls-Royce was commissioned by a client from the Middle East as a gift to their father. The bespoke creation, called the Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle, draws specific inspiration from a couture lace piece that bore three-dimensional floral designs. Rolls-Royce The Phantom's upright, distinguished bodywork wears a two-tone paint job, with the lower section finished in Crystal over Arctic White and the upper body painted Crystal over Palais Nemasker Dawn, an exclusive hue. A delicate coachline runs from the grille to the taillights on each side and is mirrored by a white coachline along the hood and after the rear doors. Above the rear wheel, the main coachline, which is finished in the color Sunrise, is interrupted by an intricate, hand-painted depiction of a leafy branch. The 22-inch disc wheels feature a center cap with a body-colored ring, and the Pantheon grille hosts a Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament in rose gold. Rolls-Royce Open the doors and step over rose gold engraved sill plates, and you'll find a mix of leather upholstery in Sunrise and Grace White. But the real focus is on the dashboard, where what Rolls-Royce calls the "Gallery," the space ahead of the front passenger, displays an ornate embroidered image of flowers, with Rolls-Royce using a series of different stitch techniques and thread densities to create a layered, three-dimensional look. The dashboard artwork consists of over 160,000 stitches. Rolls-Royce The rear passengers get their own masterpiece, with another set of elegant flowers adorning the section between the rear seats, requiring 70,000 stitches. Mirroring the hood ornament, the speaker grilles are finished in rose gold, and there are Rolls-Royce logos on the headrests. There's no word on how much the Phantom Dentelle costs, but we imagine it is quite a bit more than the Phantom's $517,750 base price. Regardless, the one-off creation is a beautiful reminder that the toolset you bought Dad for Father's Day isn't going to cut it, at least not when you've got millions of dollars in the bank.
