Vince Camuto’s Fairytale Estate and Storybook Collection | Christie's
In 1984, shoe designer Vince Camuto created his own fairytale by purchasing Chateau Ridge, a neglected estate in Greenwich, Connecticut, and converting it into one of the most eclectic and intelligently curated properties on the East Coast.
Together with architect and designer Anthony Ingrao, Camuto spent five years turning every space at the chateau into a distinct world - from a great hall adorned with fibre-optic stars reflecting the constellation on Camuto’s birthday to a ‘hall of mirrors’ dressing room decorated in gold leaf - and filling its interiors with the finest art and furniture.
According to the late designer’s wife, Louise Camuto, ‘Vince was really interested in telling a story. When you go into the English room, it’s all about 18th-century English [design], and when you go into the living room it’s Italian Renaissance. As you walk throughout the house, each room has a story but they weave perfectly together.’
To assemble the collection, the pair travelled to Paris, Florence, Rome and London, and ‘scoured the auction houses for the best and the finest things that they could find,’ Louise Camuto says. ‘They had sort of kindred spirits.’

Rich Americans aspire the old European wealth
The best home I ever seen for the past 50 years. Incredibly beautiful collection all throughout the house is jaw dropping.
What a contrast between urban, inexpensive 9 West shoe stores and THIS. Amazing. What taste Vince had. Who knew,
Utterly exquisite and extraordinary.
I just love when a person has individual rooms representing an individual architecture or period!! Fabulous estate! Elegance personified!!!
Magnificent! Beautifully told as well.
From Poverty to Prosperity. This is an absolutely glorious story! Truly a passion project.
Amazing!!! This is a spectacular home.
A true labor of love and the true legacy left behind in this world bless you Louise and R.I.P Vince
I have always loved Vince Camuto… and own many of his pieces.. it’s no surprise his home is so exquisite and full of details💕💕💕

@@erique_k I appreciate your viewpoint. The point of this CURATED COLLECTION was the very reason you don’t like or understand what it is…. Not being mean😉☺️ Just not everyone appreciates FINE ART and REAL ANTIQUES. Each room was meant to be a “time capsule” that was historically accurate. And each was~ very successfully. Nouveau Riche, in how I am interpreting your use~ isn’t appropriate in this, IMO. He was self made man. With impeccable taste and an incredible team to help him create his vision. We all have different tastes…🤷🏼♀️ Enjoy the day

Admire his taste. I cannot even imagine what he have thought of his customers who bought his 10 dollar shoes.
Dear Christie's. With greetings for you.Intetesting is to watch your films. I am happy of your very nice showing everything. Dominique

Impeccable taste. I hope this doesn't sound rude, it's not meant to, but the sensibility is European, not what I associate with American aesthetics. The beautiful pale blue room with painted wall panels looks just like a replica of a room in the restored Polignac house in Paris.
A bit odd for Connecticut

Not with that kind of money - it's just never seen. This will probably be coming to the Auction. In a sale dedicated to his Estate alone. That's why this is more than likely on the platform that it is The Christie's Channel. A well-respected Auction House worldwide for many years
What is gaudy, Alex.
Hermosa bóveda casi como la celeste

The best part of the house is the entryway - or whichever door that is Beautiful light, color, and balance of interesting things with room for the eye to rest. For the rest of the house - I love pattern, and some ornate elements, but when it’s too much, and is uncoordinated, it’s just gaudy. This decor definitely crosses the line into gaudy in places. Too much coverage of the windows - like a morgue.

beautiful, beauty is no longer required these days, perhaps that's why Truth can no longer be tolerated
THE RUCH KEEP GETTING RICHER
Task 2
Man, I’d love to be rich and just wander around my beautiful estate and lounge around in some random room smoking incredible weed and eating fancy foie gras flavoured potato chips while looking at one of my extremely valuable antique books…

This is the Christies channel. So, I’m sure a dedicated Auction will be coming. That’s really the only reason for the walk-through. For future buyers to see it intact. Please believe that the video will go out with the catalog to the appropriate Buyers ….. We just got lucky to be able to see it as a bonus 😉
He must've sold a lot of shoes and bags to buy this house.
