On Display: Displaying Your Treasures With Style
by Lesley Dilcock and Catherine Gratwicke
As
the popularity of Antiques Roadshow and eBay confirms, no hobby is
hotter than collecting. Whether the subject is childhood toys, posters,
shells, or doorknobs, the sky's the limit. In On Display, stylist and
author Lesley Dilcock coaxes these collections from closets and boxes
by providing interesting and stylish ideas for displaying them with
confidence -- all stunningly photographed by Catherine Gratwicke.
There
are chapters on fashion and accessories, jewelry, textiles, ceramics,
kitchenware, the natural world, books, glass, mirrors, pictures and
frames, memorabilia, and tools and implements. The emphasis is on
unusual and imaginative finds. In the
second part of the book, Lesley shows you how to put together pleasing
displays in every part of the home.
Collectors of Pottery, bowls, books, shoes, jewelry, linens, antique tools or hardware, or just about anything else will find this book delightful and inspirational. It is chock full of creative suggestions for showcasing a collection of one to "I lost count" in unique and effective ways. From modern minimal to opulent excess, On Display takes an artistic and sometimes eclectic approach that is refreshing and engaging and that the reader can easily adapt to her or his own needs. List Price: $27.50.
