Since 1999, he and his partner, Marco Scarani, creative director for entrepreneur Chris Burch, have spent several months each year in a magnificent pied-\u00e0-terre in a 17th-century townhouse in the chic Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e8s district. (They now split their time between there, Manhattan and Tangier.)<\/p>\n<p>Located on the Rue de Seine, the nearly 3,000-square-foot apartment has windows overlooking the Louvre and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/neoclassical\/\">neoclassical<\/a> dome of the Institut de France. Once lived in by Queen Margot, known for her juicy memoirs, the property was acquired in a French candle auction, a romantic tradition held over from the 17th century in which the bidding ends with the expiration of a candle flame. Before moving in, Creel and Scarani spent about a year and a half renovating the space, which had been empty for decades.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Master Bedroom<\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-290553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAMIE_CREEL_10-1-e1521742419279.jpg\" alt=\"Paris bedroom by Jamie Creel\" width=\"950\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAMIE_CREEL_10-1-e1521742419279.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAMIE_CREEL_10-1-e1521742419279-467x350.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAMIE_CREEL_10-1-e1521742419279-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAMIE_CREEL_10-1-e1521742419279-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/>\n<p>The elegant mirror over the bed was designed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/herve-van-der-straeten\/\">Herv\u00e9 Van der Straeten<\/a>. \u201cHis work combines timeless modernity with noble materials,\u201d says Creel of the designer, well known for his iconic product designs like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/christian-dior\/\">Dior<\/a>\u2019s J\u2019adore perfume bottle.
