John Derian decoupage is handmade to order in our New York studio using reproduced imagery from John Derian’s vast collection of antique and vintage prints. Trained artisans cut and collage our designs onto handblown glass.

Decoupage is the art of cutting and gluing paper images to a surface. John Derian, an avid collector of antique fruit, flower, and animal prints, hand-paints borders and patterns over centuries-old ledgers and letters. He combines all these elements into charmingly eccentric collages which are reprinted and pieced together in layers under glass accessories.

John’s ever expanding collection includes plates, platters, paperweights, lamps, tabletops umbrella stands, vases and shadow boxes. John Derian’s Designs are handmade in his studio in New York and prized by collectors around the world.
