The living room is furnished with a mix of modern African pieces and Franco-Indian furniture from Mr. Rambaud's mother's ancestral home in Pondicherry, India.

A suite of mid-century modern Italian furniture that Mr. Rambaud's father bought in Paris in 1967 spent a soujourn in Senegal before finding its way to Water Mill ten years ago.

Red flat files contain 600 European souvenir spoons collected by Ceppos' grandfather.

A stash of animal skulls collected from the property, an Australian crocodile head and a cow skull from Bhutan, are kept on the wide front porch next to the front door. “It’s part of my 21st-century Victorian curiosity cabinet,” Mr. Rambaud said.
