Custom Display Cabinets
Glass-fronted cabinets that protect and show off china, collections and books, made to the space you have.
Show it and protect it
Display cabinets keep things visible but dust-free. They are used for dinner services in a dining room, collections in a living room, trophies in a study and decorative pieces in a majlis.
The contents decide the design. Fine glassware needs shallow shelves and good lighting, while a dinner service needs deeper, stronger shelves and closed drawers for the pieces that are not on show. Trophies and collections often look best with fewer, well-spaced shelves. We ask what will go inside before we set the shelf heights and the depth.
We build freestanding display cabinets and built-in units that run wall to wall. Where most of the wall is open shelving for books, see custom bookshelves.
