At Home with Peter Copping and Rambert Rigaud at La Carlière, their manor house in Normandy, France
Tag along to Normandy, France for a behind the scenes visit with Peter Copping and Rambert Rigaud at their 15th century manor house, la Carlière. With decades of fashion experience - Peter helmed Nina Ricci and then Oscar de la Renta and Rambert is at Balenciaga - these two translated their talents to the transformation of their enchanting country home. Years of significant restoration (think new roof, heating, bathrooms, kitchen etc.) brought the house into shape for 21st century living while maintaining its storybook character. The couple were then in position to indulge their passion for interiors. Learn how a serious love of antiques and color take center stage, where burgeoning collections of art and objets expertly enhance every space, whether on walls or in captivating vignettes. Even the bathrooms are fully decorated with wallpaper, art and personal treasures arranged in appealing assemblages. The house reflects both its history and its owners with personality and romance. Each room retains its own distinct personality, and yet the house has an effortless flow, perfect for the duo during their weekend escapes from Paris or for a throng of holiday visitors. One of their many decorative addictions is antique textiles, which can be seen throughout but especially in their effective incorporation of tapestry in many rooms creating visual interest, warmth and a way to bring the outdoors in. This obsession has been parlayed into a new business venture named after the house. Initially encompassing a sumptuous collection of “Haute Cushions,” it now includes lampshades and continues to expand. Clearly Peter and Rambert have embraced their flair for interiors with creativity, sophistication and unbridled passion for collecting. Don’t be surprised if you see a new decorating team on the horizon. You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!! For more visit quintessenceblog.com
OOOOO…I always get excited when a new notification from Quintessence pops up! Thank you Susanna & Stacey…this video is enchanting! What a glorious chateau…made my heart happy just to be able to see it, with all the vibrant colors, design and treasured collections… Another one to watch more than once..and I think I saw a canine spirit wandering the halls looking for it’s collar, lol. Merci à Peter et Rambert pour cette opportunité! 🇫🇷🇬🇧💖
Thank you so much Margaret!! And I think you're right about the dog - hope there's one in their future!
I get excited, too, about a new notification from Quintessence. The videos are top-notch. I love how Susanna gracefully lathers her guests with sincere compliments. She's one classy lady!
Thank you for all your videos.i love them
@@samh.6272 Thank you and yes Susanna is!
@@xiomiminer Our pleasure! Thank YOU for watching (and hopefully subscribing)
PLEASE make these videos longer…you have amazing homes and homeowners with so much more we would love to see!!
Unfortunately the videos are never longer than 10 minutes! I think the creators do that so we will always come back for more! They are beautifully written and well done always! I never miss a new video!
@@itsjustmommyitsjustmommy1016 Thank you! We carefully film and edit to make every minute count!
For me, this video (17 mins) is the perfect length. Between 15 and 20 minutes is great. Anything over 30 minutes seems excessive to me, and less than 10 minutes doesn’t feel long enough!
@@LostTransition Thank you so much - we tend to agree! We don't want to just drone on and on - we like our videos thoughtfully shot and edited . Much appreciated.
@@quintessenceblg Yes you do and it’s perfection!
The house and grounds are simply SENSATIONAL!!! My goodness, what beauty!!!
Agreed!
I get happy as soon as I hear the opening music playing. As usual, you have selected a wonderful property with beautiful interiors to showcase. And I should add, Susanna, that you always look so perfectly dressed for the venue you are visiting.
So happy to hear that and I agree, Susanna is always perfectly in tune with the home!
Why thank you!!!!!
The audacity of mixing styles to perfection. This is a relaxing, exquisit home. Congratulations.
I didn’t want the tour of this magnificent home to end! Lucky you‼️❤️
Just as I didn't want my time there to end either!
I thought it never would end.
This house is truly beautiful, and anyone would be grateful and so lucky to own this. Thank you so much for your beautiful videos and taking the time to give us such joy, we need more positivity in the world. Thank you so much, Nicholai, Chris and Scooter xxx
Truly our pleasure!
I'm only halfway through the video, but I've already decided that it's my fave Quintessence video ever -- not a statement I make lightly! I could happily live in this house without changing a single thing.
I totally understand!! I didn't want to leave!
An extraordinary and stunning home. This episode will be viewed a million times.
Agreed and we certainly hope so!
Whenever I see a video from the Quintessence team I know I will be entertained, educated and comforted. Thanks for another outstanding episode,
Exactly our mission - along with providing inspiration from the best to make your own!
Exactly the notification i needed after a morning at the flea market… the dog collar collection is amazing. Thank you❤
So glad! And isn't it?! Haven't ever seen anything like it!
Such a beautiful house, how wonderful to see such creative and beautiful taste.😀
The landscaping was exquisite
Definitely some bold fabric and design decisions in this manor house. Love the quirky bathrooms! ❤I was watching an episode of the KZhead channel: Journey to the Chateau ….Patrick and Stuart have renovated multiple homes in the United States and are now renovating and restoring a 17th century chateau in France. Stuart is an amazing designer with over 30 years design experience and they have installed a custom print of a wallpaper that he designed. 😍
All I can say is, Wow, they have an Extraordinary home. I would let them design my home from top to bottom... Quintessence keeps showcasing one of a kind home and amazing designer. I will keep saying it Quintessence is the best interior design channel on KZhead.
They do and thank you so very much! So appreciate your support Raymond.
This home is mesmerising and at the same time comfortable, it is luxurious and at the same time inviting. What a wonderful balance, I am fascinated, enchanted, and envious of their home, their talent, and the wonderful world.
I love this beautiful symphony of colour and pattern. The pink bedroom, the arsenic bathroom, the red beams..... gorgeous. And I love the coat you arrived and left in.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
This extraordnary home looks like things were collected over several centuriesNothing really matches,yet it all blends perfectly.I believe that if you collect and buy what you fall in love with,it will all fall into place.This is a must watch again video.Thank you to all involved for the inspiration.
Our pleasure - thank YOU!
Loved this home. I think slowing down panning would allow us to enjoy the details much better. The door frame carving after bathroom was so ornate.
I actually had to take a moment to collect my dignity after seeing the presentation of those dog collars, but then I became totally entranced by the burlap padded walls with the studs… I mean, NO ONE I’ve seen in the world of interior design has come up with these brilliant ideas. Yes indeed, this film deserves to be seen again and again and shared with others in the field.
So many marvelous ideas to take away!! So very glad you enjoyed!
Their Medieval Manor on such ideal grounds offers refinement of layers, exuberant colors, and a juxtaposition of styles. What a visual delight!!! Bravo Rambert & Peter...
Agree! Knew you would love!
Oh wow, one watch is definitely not enough. I’ll be pouring over and pausing this episode over and over, so much inspiration and perfection. Btw, I’m also born and bred in Oxford 😊 Thank you all.
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed!
All of it is absolutely gorgeous. The green petit salon is a case study in itself. And the red beams in the hallway!
I agree - the green room especially has so many elements to admire and take in!
Beautiful 🤩 we want this videos more often THANK YOU 🙏 💖💖💖💖💖
Must be the most beautiful place I have seen. Love every piece of art I could see. I am happy for the graceful owners and hope they can enjoy it many years to come. Merci and Thank you Peter and Rambert for sharing your home. 🍃
So glad you enjoyed! A very special home.
This is one of my very favorites too! I loved all the colors and blending of the fabulous furnishings! I told my close friend who lives in another state that we need to watch together and talk on the phone to discuss and ooh and aah!
Ha! LOVE that!!
Another WONDERFUL!! video. You transport me each time, and I get wonderful ideas. Thank you so much!!
I'm so glad! And you are most welcome!
I dare say this is my top favorite European edition. I wanted to see every square inch. These two gentlemen are so talented. This is the life ❤❤❤
So glad!! And they are indeed!
thank you Susanna for giving me LIFE....... i thoroughly enjoyed this tour of a home that's loved. 🏆
It is indeed - and so glad you enjoyed!
I loved the green room with the pink striped sofa. Beautiful house.
Me too!!
Congratulations! A wonderful melange of colors and textures, period furniture and accessories...it clearly shows their taste and sensibilities...❤
Thank you and agree!
You pick the most magical charming curious characters to visit....who always bring their A game with beautiful whimsical dreamy homes we all get to explore and enjoy. Thank you for sharing these homes with us ❤ Your channel
Thank you so much!! So glad you enjoy our channel!
An Anglo-French detente in the rural environs of Normanby is appropriate given the arc of English history. An exquisite home and a "vitamin" for the soul.
Love your comment - thank you!
I would love to have heard her when she walked in to this marvelous room!!!
Fabulous! Collections, Colors, Depth. Lovely ❤ Gracious partners.
The island of striped sofas in the green room is perfect. I love red and blue together. Apparently, so do our hosts.
The textiles alone are so exquisite.
Fantastic chateau! Thanks for sharing. 😊💜
Our pleasure!
Most beautiful home so far 👌🔥🙌
Wowee! Maximal color! And books everywhere. Cohesive clutter. I love it!
What these videos do for me, is that they make me realize it's okay for me to do this, too. They make me feel understood, and one can't put a price on that! 💋
Thank you - I love that!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
✔️✔️✔️✔️🤗🙏
I am all about color and mixing eras. Sometimes I think my adult children think I’m crazy but I hope, in the end, it will rub off. Life is so short…LIVE IT!
@@ResourceArt I always tell people that if they're obsessed with going to museums, they should save and create their own museum at home. Decorative arts and getting my colors right are my best therapy! The home is your haven -- Go all out on it!
How can something like this with so much detail for the eye, look so good together. Such talent ❤
👍🏻👍🏻
What a great old house, with a perfect driveway.
This tour and sequence of interiors is the epicentre of juxtaposition, as Ram-Bert said 11:39 ‘More is More’
👍🏻
I need a tiger pillow and the funny thing is, I didn't know I needed one! Lol I love the combo of everything mixed together! It's my kind of place! Totally enchanting and that includes you my dear!!!
Right?! It's really quite extraordinary. And I assume you mean Susanna ;-)
@@quintessenceblg I always mean Susanna!!
I think having 2 tiger pillows would be even better.
🙏🙏💜
So good to see Quintessence again - a real treat!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
It is like being in a novel. Beautiful grand home. Love the sisal rugs! Perfect.
Oh my. This home is simply outstanding.
Loved everything about this home. Nice couple too.
I love the mish mash as you immediately feel comfortable and cosy. You can sit and relax on the sofas and enjoy the fire.
Hi everyone, I liked the voice over just by the home owner, the best personality as I found this more pleasing to the ear and more centred. Love this property………….it is full of hope, joy and happiness not only for the owners, but for any guests that visits. So glad this couple are living their authentic life. Cheers from Australia. Fiona and John 🦘🙏

I don't quite have the words to express my reaction to this stunning home! It is beyond breathtaking how the gentlemen have preserved and enhanced this property. Their restoration and decoration of the manor house and grounds is absolute perfection! I am deeply moved. THE best tour Quintessence has ever shared.
