Tony Duquette’s Iconic Beverly Hills Home Preserved by Hutton Wilkinson

We’re visiting Dawnridge, the legendary Beverly Hills home of Tony Duquette, preserved and reimagined by designer, jeweler, and author Hutton Wilkinson.

Built in 1949 as a tiny 900-square-foot house on a ravine, Dawnridge became a dazzling world of painted ceilings, mirrored rooms, jeweled objects, theatrical gardens, and stories from Hollywood’s golden age.

After working with Tony since he was 17, Hutton purchased the house after Tony’s death to save its life, carrying forward a legacy of fantasy, invention, and fearless decoration.
