Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo Are Selling Pieces From Their Connecticut Castle

Starting today, the public can own a piece of Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo’s distinct aesthetic—and not just by purchasing their clothing. The couple are selling select pieces from their Greenwich, Connecticut, castle on Sotheby’s Home, with items ranging from an all-in-one Baccarat Cave à Liqueur to gorgeous photographic prints depicting Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy, and Jacqueline Kennedy to a distinguished antique writing desk.

“I love all the authentic framed nautical flags, the enormous drums we used as shelves in Sebastian’s bedroom, and the Americana eagle sculptures because I’m obsessed with AMERICANA!” Hilfiger said in a statement. Prices for the items will vary, but most fall within a range between $200 and $1,000 (the Baccarat set is slightly more expensive, at $3,795). The pair have long been known for their attention to detail and delightful home decor, which fuses Hilfiger’s love for all things Americana and Ocleppo’s penchant for European sophistication. Asked how he would describe the design of their Greenwich home, Hilfiger said, “Authentic original design of an English country manor and Swiss hunting lodge.”

Once known as Château Paterno, the estate was originally built for real estate magnate Charles Vincent Paterno in 1939 by award-winning architect Greville Rickard. The property exchanged hands in 1961, when it was sold to art collector Joseph Hirshhorn, who used much of the space to house nearly 6,000 19th- and 20th-century paintings and sculptures. When Hilfiger and Ocleppo took over the three-story residence in 2010, they went to work decorating it in a way that felt true to their own style, and in 2017 they opened the home to AD. “I call it that great American style from the 1920s and ’30s when Americans would tour Europe and bring back an interesting concoction of ideas from, say, Tuscany and France,” said Hilfiger of the palatial residence at the time. “The exterior is a Norman-inspired château with Tudor elevations, but the interior is an English country house with French Gothic touches.”

The couple also previously owned a unique Plaza Hotel penthouse, which they sold for $33.25 million earlier this year after more than a decade on the market.
