Adding "Height" To Your Antique Displays

Stacking Smaller Tables And Other Props To Help Feature Your Antique Displays

A very simple and effective way to display antiques and collectibles in your store is to use props to create different heights.

When you keep objects all at the same level, such as on a shelf or table, the display becomes static and boring. But with just a few tricks of the trade,you can create more interesting and engaging presentations which will help you to attract the attention of buyers.

Stacking Small Boxes, Tables, Benches To Create Better Antique Displays

Small tables, boxes, tins, stools can be used as "risers" for providing "height" to an otherwise level plane. Also be sure to mix us the degree of "verticals" and " horizontals". The addition of this cute lamp provides a nice "vertical" addition which coordinates well to the table on the left which was stacked on top of a larger table.
