"Anouska Hempel's English Country House\nFrom meticulously manicured gardens to interiors layered with centuries-spanning furnishings and objects, designer Anouska Hempel's Wiltshire home is an aesthetic tour de force\nCole Park, the manor that designer Anouska Hempel shares with her husband, Sir Mark Weinberg, in the countryside of Wiltshire, England, dates from the mid-16th century. A profusion of books and decorative objects top an ottoman in the reception room.\n\nFor details see Sources.\nIn the sitting room, a lantern designed by Hempel for Charles Edwards hangs above Regency sofas covered in a striped linen. The mixed-media work over the fireplace is from Robert Heindel's \"The Protecting Veil\" series, and the Javanese-inspired slatted screen was custom made.\nAn Italian hand-painted chandelier complements the breakfast room, where antique porcelain plates are displayed over the Georgian mantel.\nThe kitchen is outfitted with Japanese-style ash cabinetry.\nThe second-floor landing is furnished with Hempel-designed daybeds upholstered in velvet; the large portraits are both 17th-century English School, while the mirror is Regency.\nIn the master bedroom, a caned armchair is pulled up to a 19th-century Louis XVI\u2013style desk with side leaves; the curtains are of a customized J. Robert Scott silk.\nThe same J. Robert Scott stripe is used for the ebony-and-gilt canopy bed.\nAn array of 18th- and 19th-century prints line the master bath, alongside French brass cafe\u0301 mirrors and antique sconces.\nHempel conceived the Oriel Room's bed, which is wrapped in burlap, velvet, and rope cord.\nIn the adjoining bath, a panel of circa-1730 Dutch scenic tiles decorates the wall above a Victorian tub; the cachepots are Chinese, and the handled vessel is 19th-century Italian.\nThe room's vanity is covered in trompe l'oeil tiles painted by Kaffe Fassett according to a Hempel design.\nAmerican-oak beams crisscross the ceiling in\n\n a top-floor guest room; Pakistani low chairs at the foot of the bed are cushioned with cashmere pillows by Hempel.\nThe main entrance gate to Cole Park opens to a view of its Georgian fac\u0327ade.\nA redbrick section of the house overlooks the side gardens.\nTowering chimneys serve some of the house's ten fireplaces.\nThe house is surrounded by formal gardens, including this enclosure of high hornbeam hedges; the Belgian-stone table, by Hempel, is flanked by rows of catalpa trees.\nA garden fountain is encircled by Cotswold drystone walls.\nBeneath a vine-clad pergola, vintage Indian lanterns dangle above an antique Pakistani table.\nChaise longues border the pool."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
