Creating fairytale environments with contrasting colors and furnishings, Rose Cumming could easily be called one of the grande dames of eccentric, interior design style. Her eclectic taste and extraordinary combinations left an indelible mark on the interiors of New York. Setting up shop in the 1920s, her boutique housed a collection of antiques, textiles, and chandeliers, and was known as the romping grounds for starlets and socialites of the day. “I have no time for boring furniture, boring fabrics or boring people,” stated Cumming who crafted a world filled with magical beauty.
