84 W e can never hear e n o u g h a b o u t one of the most extraordinary houses in America — the fabled Dawnridge, a charming, exuberant, and wildly imaginative folly of a home tucked into an enclave in Beverly Hills. This maximalist palazzo was designed by the late Tony Duquette, a Louvre- exhibited talent who was a cross-disciplinary genius with jewelry, interiors, costumes, and set design, all distinguished by flights of Baroque and Rococo fancy. Duquette's heir and preserver of this opulent masterpiece residence, designer Hutton Wilkinson, came to town to emcee the PaperCity Design Awards, then lingered on to sign his latest book, Tony Duquette's Dawnridge (Abrams), at a Texas Design Week talk and cocktail party at Decorative Center Houston's David Sutherland Showroom. Guests listened raptly while Wilkinson told tales about his mentor, travels with Elsie de Wolfe, and a world of lavish costumed and themed fêtes. By Catherine D. Anspon. Photography Daniel Ortiz.
