Carpezat received a "diplôme d'honneur" at the Exposition Universelle of 1878. He was awarded a "grand prix" and named Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur at the Exposition Universelle of 1889. He sat in the commission organizing the conference "L'art théâtral" at the Exposition Universelle of 1900. Numerous scenic designers of note were taught by Carpezat at his workshop at 50 Boulevard de la Villette: Ambroise Belluot, Léon Bouchet, François Carpezat (his son and successor), Demoget, Albert Dubosq, Oleguer Junyent i Sans, Lucien Jusseaume, Olivier Maréchal, Mouveau, Eugène Martial Simas and Victor Lamorte. Carpezat died at the age of 79, reportedly "aged, sad and discouraged due to no longer having any commissions from the larger theatres". He was interred in his family tomb at Montparnasse Cemetery.
