Amongst a very versatile collection of decorative antique furniture, our absolute favourites have always been our wonderful bookshelves and display cabinets. We have a very versatile collection of these from the world of French antiques and these are quite stunning as decorative pieces of furniture themselves. So if you have a display cabinet that looks like a star itself, how do you do justice to what is inside and how the entire thing appears.

Now if you have decorative antiques to display, these definitely deserve a good display cabinet to show them off. Displaying such a prized collection in a classic cabinet will definitely be a winning combination. but there are other ways of enhancing this by giving some thought to how you display them with these display case decorating ideas:

If you have a collection of glass or colourful items, think of separating them by their colour which can have a pleasing overall effect which adds to the appeal.

Ardent fans of ceramics might have hordes of them in all whites or blues. If you are one of them, why not consider adding a pop of colour with artificial flowers maybe?

If you have an amazingly eclectic collection, think of a cabinet with several compartments making good use of every compartment with an interesting item.

Symmetry is always pleasing to the eye. It also lands up increasing the aesthetic appeal of the arrangement and infuses a semblance of harmony and connection between items.

An antique display cabinet will always work better if a connection is established with the other furniture in the room. You can also purchase another item of furniture in the same type. This will instantly bring balance and also define the overall appearance of the space.

When tastefully done, a simple rustic lamp with some lights can add an extra dimension to a place or display cabinet.

Imagine: some Calvino correlate to Barthes’s idea of jouissance,…

Elizabeth Brownrigg – torturing her apprentices to death

Elizabeth was married to James Brownrigg, a plumber who moved with his wife in to Flower-de-Luce Court off Fleet Street. It was the year 1765 and plumbers seemed to have been doing as well back then as they are today. James was coining it sufficiently to afford a little house in Islington as a retreat from the City of London. Elizabeth gave birth to a staggering 16 children and having been a…
