Custom Made Display Cases – It’s Time to Show Off Your Buried Collections

Most people who have a collection of some kind would rather keep their collection in a hidden box or in a locked room because in this way, they can keep their precious collection from playful children and curious guests. Once a collector loses a valuable, much sought after item, he or she often chooses to box up the collection and shelve it in the basement or attic rather than risk losing it in the future. Grown men hoard their collectible toy trucks and model trains rather than risk a curious child tearing open the box.

Unfortunately, once boxed up, it is difficult to take these collectible items out and show them off to friends and family members. Without easy access to their collection, may collectors may give up their hobby altogether. The alternative to such a sad outcome is to invest in a custom made display case.

While many display cases can be awkward, gaudy, pieces better suited to a department store’s jewelry counter or a pawn shop, personalized display cases provide an opportunity to not only show off your collection proudly, but to enhance the overall design aesthetic of your home. Customized display cases are available in a wide variety of sizes, materials, and styles, because they are, after all, custom made to suit your needs and your home.

If the room you plan to situate the personalized display case in is decorated in a light, airy, and modern style, consider working with an artisan to create a custom made display case in an Art Nouveau style like those made by William Doub Custom Furniture, one of the respected custom made furniture makers in New Hampshire. The slashing and curving shiny maple wood contrasts with the gleaming glass, and the unusual shape will flatter the room it is in while adding interest.

A more traditionally decorated room, however, may benefit from an elaborately carved custom made display case, which can also house your home entertainment center and a few shelves for books.

Depending on what you are planning to display, your custom made display case may not look like a traditional display case at all. For example, if you are a collector of jewelry, then a glass topped display table may be the best way to show off your collection.

A stepped wine bottle stopper display rack with a round slot carved for each stopper to sit in, on the other hand, may be best for a wine stopper collection to be displayed rather than having the miniature pieces of functional art lie on their sides.
