Your Favorite Collection on Display
Now that you have your wonderful blue and white porcelain collection of plates or those crystal goblets from Venice, where are you going to put it? You can’t just place it on that metal bookcase you bought at the local hardware store. You have to do it justice! The right display cabinet will bring your collection the attention it deserves.
If you have a somewhat eclectic style – a mix of traditional and contemporary furnishings, these display cabinets will fit into your decor. From the New Traditionalists above, the Cabinet 272 is made of bleached walnut with nickel hardware. The cabinet below from Century is made of maple and finished in black.
For more traditionally designed interiors, the China Cabinet above – also from Century - has an Art Deco feel. A slightly more ornate and feminine style is the Pompadour cabinet from Grange. Notice the contrasting trim on the curvilinear skirt and cornice.
If you have a light color scheme and a traditional, informal style, you may look at 18th-century Swedish country furniture. This Sofiero breakfront from Country Swedish has a soft curvilinear top and will complement your china collection.
This graceful cabinet designed by Barbara Barry for Hendredon would match an elegant contemporary space. The cabinet is made of walnut and decorated with oval tracery.
