Rolls-Royce presents Chinese Mural Art bespoke commissions

Rolls-Royce has presented three Bespoke motor cars inspired by the ancient mural paintings of Dunhuang, China. This extraordinary expression of cross-cultural artistry was commissioned through the brand's Private Office Shanghai and includes the Phantom Extended, Black Badge Cullinan, and Black Badge Spectre models.

The Phantom Extended is presented in a two-tone finish. The main body is finished in Ningye Purple, while the upper body is rendered in contrasting English White. A Silken Spirit motif is hand-painted on the C-pillar in Ningye Purple and completes the Grace White coachline. The motif continues into the cabin, where it is depicted in a Bespoke Starlight Headliner with 1,344 hand-placed fibre-optic 'stars' and 192 'shooting stars'.

The Black Badge Cullinan Series II is presented in Danqian Pink

The Black Badge Cullinan Series II, on the other hand, is presented in Danqian Pink, a hue which extends to the centres of the 23-inch Black Badge forged wheels. Silken Spirit motifs on the twin Coachline and C-pillar are presented in Black. The front seats are finished in Blushing Pink leather with Placed Perforation, which extends onto the front doors, while the rear seats feature Navy leather with Blushing Pink piping and stitching. The Silken Spirit graphic is inlaid in stainless steel on the Technical Fibre front fascia and the waterfall between the rear seats.

Finally, the Black Badge Spectre is presented in a dramatic Aero two-tone. The body is finished in Qingshan Blue, while the upper portion, together with Silken Spirit motifs on the C-pillar and Coachline, is presented in contrasting Diamond Black. The front seats are completed in Turchese and Black leathers, while the rear seats are presented in Black with contrast white stitching and piping. The Silken Spirit motif appears on Turchese Illuminated Treadplates. Further illuminations include Starlight Doors and a Bespoke Starlight Headliner with 1,344 'stars' and 192 'shooting stars'.

Through this trio, Rolls-Royce honours the relevance of ancient artistic legacies and the resonance of heritage as a source of inspiration for contemporary expressions of luxury.
