The doors were purchased for the new home of Tracy Burke’s parents at Houston, Texas in the early 1970s. The interior was designed by Robert Denning and Vincent Fourcade. Ms. Burke recalls an entry in her mother’s ledger for $700 relating to the purchase of the panels. In 1975, Architectural Digest published an article Turning Back the Clock: Nostalgic Mélange in Houston, introduced the interior design of the house, including an image of the rod panels. Mrs. Burke moved the doors to her home in Colorado following her parents’ death in 2014.
