What a beauty

Sometimes you see something in a shop that just strikes a chord.
It’s just so lovely it makes you stop — and sigh.
That’s happened to me quite a few times at Transformation By Design Interiors and Antiques, the treasure trove that Lenny and Ilana Perles run in Suffern.
It’s an antiques shop that features a sprinkling of new merchandise — and serves as the headquarters for Ilana’s design business.
I was spending time in Rockland shops yesterday, looking for some “kitchen essentials� for an upcoming piece I’m doing for our sister publication Rockland Magazine and decided to stop in and say hello to Ilana.
Perles, no surprise, has some fun things that we will likely feature in the story.
I also got some great design ideas from her, things I hope to put to use in future stories.
And I got an informal tour of some of the Perles’ newest finds.
This piece was the perfect example of their great (collective) eye — they find pieces that are truly distinctive.
This lovely lady is a spelter (zinc alloy) bronze figural lamp, inscribed “Mignon par Bruchon.�
It’s probably, Ilana said, from the turn of the 20th century (1910-20s).
The asking price is $2,250.
It would look so lovely in a foyer or on a great old table… hey, I can dream!
For more details, or to visit, the shop is at 14B Lafayette Ave. Call 845-357-5543.
