Walking into John Derian's store you feel transported into a 19th century novel. He covers everything from plates bowels, light fixtures and paperweights in images from 19th and 19th century antique prints. The images are unique and the trouble here is how to choose. Whether it's a series of beautiful owls, whaling vessels, cartography, leaves and flowers, the effect is pitch perfect and very hip. He carries a few lines from other makers that all match his own rustic, sometimes gothic eye. He eye for great design is very sharp.

What's not to love about designer John Derian's handmade decoupage collection? I have a 12x20 tray with birds in varied shades of green, teal, and chocolate on a shelf leaning over my desk. I'll never part with it. His stunning eye for color and eccentric style inspires me. His work feels very French - his shop, like one you'd spot in Paris. Whether it's a paperweight or a tray, you'll find that owning one decoupage item is never enough. To meet the needs of a collector, John Derian also carries paperweights, coasters, lamps, imports, antiques, quilts, table linens, and a unique line of stationery, to name just a few. With images of red coral, blue birds, fancy insects, vintage botancials, and other designs inspired by days gone by, you're sure to find something that appeals to you and fits the mood of your space. Prices start at $20 for a decoupage coaster, with plates around $105, and trays starting around $50-60 . You can shop his flagship store in NYC on 6 East Second Street (Between 2nd Avenue and The Bowery) or browse his collection online at http://www.johnderian.com/

John Derian's Dry Goods is like walking into someones DIY yardsale where everything is handmade, off beat and would usually be placed on your bed or table. Think Ikea's home bedroom department meets the Middle East and add a dash of East Village Bohemian Rhapsody and you'll have a good idea what to expect inside. The place definitely has character.
