When I was a child my fathers always stopped at old gates and was delighted. He explained to me all the details of the blacksmiths work. Now I am 60 and still today I stopp at old gates and think of my beloved father and enjoy the artwork. He was a blacksmith.
Somehow I missed this video when it came out . These gates are and will be absolutely beautiful when they are restored and set back into place . It is wonderful that there are still craftsmen and artist that can do restoration work such as this .
In France it is an honour for young people to become such a craftsman/woman and there are many big projects being accomplished, from old ships to old authentic working farms right up to the recent restoration of Notre Dame Cathédrale de Paris - I wish that the same could be said in UK !
¡Que fabuloso privilegio poder regresarle el esplendor a ese castillo! Gracias por compartir el amoroso proceso. Soy una apasionada de las restauraciones, mi esposo y yo remodelados una casa de más de 50 años de antigüedad, acá en el norte de México. Es un trabajo duro, pero el resultado es muy satisfactorio. No hay dinero que alcance y siempre hay cosas que hacer aún cuando el proyecto se termine. ¡Ánimo! y no desfallezca, tal vez un día sea una visita OBLIGADA al visitar tu pais. Saludos desde México.
Beautiful Gates Wow .. even little deeper green .. try Gold with colour you choose first .. not too light because in Sun might look too light .. Suggest try look colour out in Daylight .. my lipsticks always different in daylight many times disappointing inside shop lights very different with colours Good Luck will be watching
You should add your own initials somewhere on the gate because you are also the owner of the chateau. Add a small caduseus with your initials. Maybe the bell could be painted a special color in order to make it a focal point. Your enthusiasm is palpable. You have obviously spent a lot of time researching designs and decorations and it creates a lot of joy for you. Enjoy every aspect of the recreation of your home. Also, I wanted to ask you: What medical specialty do you provide? I have been a medical transcriptionist here in the U.S. for 32 years and for the past three years I have transcribed autopsies. Pathology is my favorite field of medicine. I am thoroughly enjoying your vlogs.
Thank you for allowing the world to see how gates were made then & now & will last longer than 5/10 years! We don't get that on this side of the pond! Bravo
Black de hiron and brillant gold the leafes. And the past of the time will make his work. I think a brighter color Will rest the magnificence and importance that the place neads.
Very much looking forward to watching your restoration! It is interesting that you have chosen to use the original owner’s initials on the gate restoration, instead of commissioning your own monogram. It seems you deserve some degree of recognition for the love, time and money you are pouring into the castle. Best Wishes!
I fell in love with your child like exuberance for your dreams and passion. Seeing that giddy lilt in your step showing off the gates gave me a huge smile. Thank you for sharing this glimpse inside your personal joy with this project.
I too am facinated with gates in general and now yours in specific. Due to me now being involved vicariously in your restoration of them. Wow! I can hardly wait to see them finished, and you restoring them to their rightful position at your castle. Hopefully you will do a video of them being reinstalled. Anxiously waiting in northwestern Illinois
I’m looking forward to seeing the restoration! I have always loved castles, and in France! Maybe you will get lucky and find a hidden wine cellar with some old wine!
I love your enthusiasm and passion to do the right thing by this structure historically. The grounds are equally impressive! Would live a tour of the acreage along with drone footage. 😊 you are so peaceful to watch and not bad on the eyes! Lol
C''est une excellente idée de finaliser avec cette grille superbe l'ensemble harmonieux, avec les pavillons restaurés, de l'accès principal au domaine. J'espère néanmoins (mais suis certain que vous y avez déjà pensé) qu'un accès secondaire à toute épreuve est prévu lorsque vous commencerez la rénovation de la maison principale... Camions, pelleteuses, etc... pourraient endommager la ferronnerie. Sincèrement très admiratif pour votre courageux engagement à faire revivre cet ensemble architectural remarquable. Bravo !!
My daughter and I were there in Nancy last summer. It was great. The whole sqare surrounded by those fences and gates lay in front of us in this special light. It was beautiful, marvellous, really.❤
I love all your narration about all the details and decisions that are being made on this project. I’m so happy that you have a channel for this restoration so we can all follow along.
Todo eso es precioso, afortunadamente lo estas restaurando,es una verdadera lastima que esas edificaciones tan antiguas y maravillosas acaben en la ruina.te felicito por recuperar y reparar ese castillo tan bonito. Saludos desde Asturias España.🌷🌷🌷
So exciting. I’m glad you are so fussy with the detail - getting the details right will pay dividends for many years to come. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I like the grey you chose. :-) It is amazing to see the gates inside the shop. Just seeing them in front of the chateau, I take them for granted. Seeing them inside it is easier to appreciate the scale and immense level of detail of iron work like this. Thank you for this video!
"invisible motorization" love it. Subsequently we learned of a huge delay with the gate and some shady work with the gold leaves, nevertheless it is great to see places in France that can still do this kind of work.
Поражает, с какой скрупулезностью производится восстановление исторического облика ворот! И хотя я, наверняка никогда не смогу увидеть великолепие этого Шато своими глазами, я признателен этому прекрасному представил Франции за любовь к своей стране, культуре, аутентичности! ЖЕЛАЮ УСПЕХОВ И РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ЗАДУМАННОГО! 🎉
Hi 👋, Château De Dampierre , Amazing looking 👀 property, The gâtes are a statement piece of the property , I hope you have a back up power system installed for the gates, just in case the power goes off as you will not be able to enter the gateway, I well be looking 👀 forward to seeing your next stage of the renovation, retired English gentleman, not sure about the gentleman part , 😂 specialist joiner, cabinet maker, . Good Luck with your Renovation . Phil from the moulin France,
I think your colour choices are spot on! That neutral grey will provide a background upon which the changing light will reflect in interesting ways. A light hand with the gilding is very wise! So enjoying these videos and your uncompromising attention to detail and looking forward to more!
What a revelation! The intricacies of the metalwork show the high level of skill and artistry the creators of the gate employed to make such a thing. It is wonderful that you found a company that is capable of restoring the gates accurately and in the correct spirit. I look forward to the next chapter! Thank you!
The gates are already impressive before painting so when they're elegantly refinished with golden accents they're sure to dazzle even the most ardent chateauphile.
Congratulations on your beautiful project. I hope it's not too late for my recommendation: I've renovated 4 houses and built 2 houses. You may want to consider installing the gates last. The reason is you will have trucks coming in and out of the house to remove construction debris and move dirt for the gardens, perhaps redo a concete foundation, etc. It is soooo common for these trucks to scratch, bend the ironwork, or brake the motor. It's not worth the aggravation of getting the comapny or insurer to pay the damage... that's if you get lucky and are able to prove who did it. I see you have space. Find a safe place to store them under lock and key and install them last. Also, in terms of the garden, make sure big construction phases are finished before you begin to work on it; or that the portion of the garden you are working on is very far from the construction. You may need to bring in a truck and scaffolding to work on the roof, the façade, or to do something related to plumbing. The dust from the construction alone will kill small bushes and plants that aren't yet established. I think your vision is beautiful and wish you a lot of luck with such a massive project.
It will look amazing - well done for taking time to choose the correct finish, and for choosing to not use too much gilding. Cannot wait to see the end result.
Magnificent! Might I suggest that you integrate a modern electronic door bell that would ring to the house, or your phone, when someone pulls the cord for the bell (rather than just the push of a button.)
Its fantastic, what a great restoration, how exciting, looking forward to it being painted and with the final touch of gold. much love and praise from England
I can fully understand your excitement. The gates are truly beautiful. Look forward to seeing them all done and mounted in place. All the best for a perfect outcome.
Congratulations on your new channel! We are very excited to watch this restoration of your property and the gates are going to be an absolutely stunning welcome to the chateau. Good luck and keep having fun, from Juneau, Alaska:)
It will be gorgeous you have got the right colour and amount of gilding in your mind that will be perfect don’t second guess your great ideas and design , like that the mechanism will be unseen. !!♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏🇨🇦
Thanks for filming à l'atelier, that was fascinating. I'm happy to hear you say you want to honor the integrity of the original gate, but also keep it modest. (I liked the old blue color, but I like aged metal that's rusted or covered in verdigris. It makes more sense to protect it as you are doing, so it will last.) The gilding will look great on the parts that you chose.
Oh la la !! Un grand portail élégant et pas clinquant 👍🏻 Je ne veux même pas connaître le montant de cette rénovation !!!! Mais c’est un travail de qualité qui durera longtemps ! 👍🏻 Merci pour toutes ces précieuses informations ! 🌸🌸🌸
Wow! What stunningly beautiful gates! They are gonna be absolutely magnificent when they are finished and reinstalled. Looking forward seeing the result. I remember seeing you and the castle in the program "So Chateaux TV" several months ago. So I have been waiting to se more. And here it is! ☺️ Thank you for sharing. Good luck and best wishes ❤
Спасибо за отчёт о реставрации замка, ворота потрясающие! Спасибо за русские субтитры❤ А мне очень понравился именно зелёный с золотом, богатое сочетание, наверно более женский взгляд😊, мужчины любят все более лаконичное и простое. Или чёрный с золотом, тоже смотрится красиво ❤
I look forward to following your journey. Technical information about restoration is especially interesting to me. Restraint with the gold is a good choice.
When I was a child my fathers always stopped at old gates and was delighted. He explained to me all the details of the blacksmiths work. Now I am 60 and still today I stopp at old gates and think of my beloved father and enjoy the artwork. He was a blacksmith.
So happy to see u have ur own restoration channel....

I am thrilled you have chosen to document the restoration. Thank you for ths update.
BEST WISHES TO YOU, YOU NEED A SMALL YOUR OWN MONOGRAM ON IT FOR THE HISTORY OF THIS GREAT PLACE.
The gates are amazing! Can't wait to see them back in at the chateau!

Love your "Gate Philosophy" !!! Very nice 😃
First thing you see --> Good first impression.
Last thing you see --> Good lasting memories 😊

Thank you so much for sharing. So excited to see the gates reinstalled. They will be magnificent.
I was loving the deep blue for the gates. Your final choice almost looked like raw metal.
This must be very beautifull for the Gate the chosen colours. It is tres chique.I like them very much.
So much beauty all around - thank you for preserving it all
Bellísima puerta, definitivamente el castillo te eligió a ti por tu inmensa pasion por el
Wow! Those gates are works of art! I can’t wait to see what they will look like when finished. Super cool!
Thank you for allowing the world to see how gates were made then & now & will last longer than 5/10 years! We don't get that on this side of the pond! Bravo
It’s going to be stunning 🧐
Wow, we haven't even made it inside the Chateau yet and I am loving this channel. The gate is stunningly beautiful. 🧡

The dark blue will look fabulous with the gold gilding.
The gate is stunning.

Fascinating 👍🏻. Love to see you excited about this, contagious joy ❣️
👏👏 Understated elegance is the theme for the gate. Well done.
The gates are so beautiful and the gate workshop is so fascinating.
What am amazing Atelier! Thank you for the tour
My daughter and I were there in Nancy last summer. It was great. The whole sqare surrounded by those fences and gates lay in front of us in this special light. It was beautiful, marvellous, really.❤
Just wonderful!
I love all your narration about all the details and decisions that are being made on this project. I’m so happy that you have a channel for this restoration so we can all follow along.
Fascinating how much restoration goes into just the gates. Thank you for sharing.
Another great video 🙌🎥 🏰 🤩
🤗🇺🇸

What a beautiful gate and fascinating process to restore it.
As a narrator, you have a great gift to draw people into the story. Keep up the excellent work!
I am so happy for you that this dream of yours is falling into place, be oming reality!🥰
So exciting. I’m glad you are so fussy with the detail - getting the details right will pay dividends for many years to come. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Colour straight away I knew was right, I'm an artist..WIll be subtle and blend with the house yet elegant and blend with an old gold perfectly..
Thankyou for sharing your JOB...🙋♀️🌟🌟🌟🍀
Máxima categoría, es impresionante ver la delicadeza de este joven chico
Truly epic gates and well worth restoring as they will be stunning once back in place
I like the grey you chose. :-) It is amazing to see the gates inside the shop. Just seeing them in front of the chateau, I take them for granted. Seeing them inside it is easier to appreciate the scale and immense level of detail of iron work like this. Thank you for this video!
This is going to be great completed gates. I think the color you chose is good. I am waiting for more updates videos. Aloha Kay
"invisible motorization" love it. Subsequently we learned of a huge delay with the gate and some shady work with the gold leaves, nevertheless it is great to see places in France that can still do this kind of work.

Wow.. the gates are so authentic to the castle and it’s grounds..
How very interesting, I can’t wait for the next episode as you continue to make the dream come true.
Congratulations! It will be a very elegant entry.
Just discovered your channel. I love the beautiful gate and am looking forward to seeing your future projects. … watching from PA, USA.
The gates are already impressive before painting so when they're elegantly refinished with golden accents they're sure to dazzle even the most ardent chateauphile.
Beautiful gates! So great to have automation, yet to conceal it. The subtle pieces in gold will be very classic and perfect.
Congratulations on your beautiful project. I hope it's not too late for my recommendation:
I've renovated 4 houses and built 2 houses.
You may want to consider installing the gates last. The reason is you will have trucks coming in and out of the house to remove construction debris and move dirt for the gardens, perhaps redo a concete foundation, etc. It is soooo common for these trucks to scratch, bend the ironwork, or brake the motor.
It's not worth the aggravation of getting the comapny or insurer to pay the damage... that's if you get lucky and are able to prove who did it.

The dust from the construction alone will kill small bushes and plants that aren't yet established.
I think your vision is beautiful and wish you a lot of luck with such a massive project.
Splendide, travail de fond dans le respect des lieux et de l'esprit d'origine. Quel bonheur....
Your enthusiasm is infectious!
It will look amazing - well done for taking time to choose the correct finish, and for choosing to not use too much gilding. Cannot wait to see the end result.
Que trabajo tan hermoso!!!
Aunque si me hubiera encantado ver que te arriesgadas metiendole más color!💖
Magnificent! Might I suggest that you integrate a modern electronic door bell that would ring to the house, or your phone, when someone pulls the cord for the bell (rather than just the push of a button.)
Its fantastic, what a great restoration, how exciting, looking forward to it being painted and with the final touch of gold. much love and praise from England
I can fully understand your excitement. The gates are truly beautiful. Look forward to seeing them all done and mounted in place. All the best for a perfect outcome.
They are so grand and in keeping with the rest of the Chateau. I can't wait to see them in place
Celà va être absolument sublime
I can't even imagine having a gate that large.
Congratulations on your new channel! We are very excited to watch this restoration of your property and the gates are going to be an absolutely stunning welcome to the chateau. Good luck and keep having fun, from Juneau, Alaska:)
Merci pour ce magnifique documentaire ! Amitiés d'Allemagne !
Esta quedando genial!!! Un gran trabajo!!saludos desde Argentina!😘🇦🇷
Quelle merveille ! Je suis cette restauration avec enthousiasme ! pas à pas, vous n’êtes pas seul!
It will be gorgeous you have got the right colour and amount of gilding in your mind that will be perfect don’t second guess your great ideas and design , like that the mechanism will be unseen. !!♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏🇨🇦

Omg those gates!! Can’t wait to see the finished product ❤ This makes me want to do a whole French chateau tour
So interesting! The gates are beautiful even as they are being worked on.
Oh la la !! Un grand portail élégant et pas clinquant 👍🏻
Je ne veux même pas connaître le montant de cette rénovation !!!! Mais c’est un travail de qualité qui durera longtemps ! 👍🏻
Merci pour toutes ces précieuses informations !
🌸🌸🌸
How fascinating to see the modern artisans restore the history of these beautiful gates!
What a beautiful gate. Well done with choosing the color and the design is perfect. It looks so majestic. Beautiful entrance. 💯👍🏻🤗💐🌟
Lol I can see how excited you are, it’s almost like you are vibrating.

Love from Southern California 💗
Que interesante como hay artistas artesanos, esperando verla terminada y colocada.
Good to see your videos! Gate is beautiful. You are pleasure to watch. Your chateau is beautiful. Wish you much success!
