"Today's consumers are looking for exceptional pieces that work well together as an entire room or mixed in with existing pieces in the home," said Jim Adams, president of Fine Furniture Design. He said that with the Biltmore collection, "We've created a very eclectic blend of classic designs that draw on the one-of-a-kind furniture, architecture, art and other design elements of this majestic, historic estate and updated them in a very fresh, exciting way."
