A little birdie told us that a menagerie of animals is here! Our shelves are stuffed with plush critters of all shapes and sizes from Steiff, the creator of the original teddy bear. Magical, animated animals from France come to life through electric automation. Crystal Sloane's handmade one-of-a-kind ornamental figures made from spun cotton range from sea creatures to farm and jungle animals.
Attention animal lovers: This season, discover napping cats, munching rabbits, jumping horses, and much more in our collection of decoupage designs. Plates, trays and paperweights are just some of the styles adorned with creatures great and small, from the tallest giraffe to the tiniest hummingbird.

We are pleased to announce our Fall 2024 collection has arrived. This season John has harvested an array of antique prints to create dozens of new decoupage pieces. A flock of exotic birds has landed on trays, paperweights, and cylinders. An oval lamp is bedecked with a profusion of pansies. Floral prints from “Nederlansch Bloemwerk”, a Dutch study of botanicals from 1794, adorn a series of trays; lovely as a single bloom or arranged as a lush bouquet on your wall. And lip studies from the early 20th century are waiting to make you smile.
Walk down the aisle of our virtual Wedding Season Shop to discover unique gift-giving ideas. Our guest list includes: Astier de Villate's glassware and artisanal ceramics, John's whimsical, romance-inspired decoupage, plus many tabletop, bedding, and kitchen offerings.
John’s early obsession with printed matter ultimately led him to decoupage, the art of cutting and pasting paper. Since 1989, he and a small studio of artisans in New York City have been creating glass plates, trays, bowls, and other decorative home items with imagery from his vast and ever-expanding collection of 18th and 19th century prints.
Tricks and treats await! Explore our spooky collection and stay tuned...more to come this month!
John welcomed House & Garden into his magical ‘old world’ house in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
The botanical book, “Hesperides sive de Malorum Aureorum cultura et usu. Libri Quatuo” was published in Rome in 1646 by Giovanni Battista Ferrari. It is the first scholarly work to describe lemon, lime, and orange varieties and contains engravings designed by prominent artists of the day.
John has incorporated many of these beautiful, hand-colored illustrations into a new edition of trays. .
Eight years after his debut book, John Derian returns with a second installment, John Derian Picture Book II. Secure your signed copy or collector's set for the October 15th release.
