I have been blogging about store display recently,  and thought I should include some of my own.  The images I have here are “assemblages” of objects in the shop.  This image has everything from a French leather bicycle seat to a 1970′s copper sculpture to a pair of sawtooth shark’s noses.  Click image to enlarge.

There is a large school trophy case in my shop loaded with religious artifacts.  This is just one shelf with Santos figures.  The porcelain plaque in the back is a signed KPM hand-painted porcelain of Sybil in its original carved Black Forest frame.  Click on image to enlarge.

These porcelain enameled letters are in a large store display cabinet.   They are graphically very strong, being stark white and so large.

In this display I’ve used a French 1950′s Jielde lamp on an Art Deco store display console.  On the display table are assorted objects with a naturalistic theme.  The back of the shop has box-car glazed brick walls, original to the building.   It was used as a bakery from 1883 till the 1940′s.  The white brick works wonderfully for store display as objects show up very well against it.  Click on image to enlarge.

Carved Indiana Limestone bird bath.  Inside the bowl is an 18th c. slate sundial found in the Netherlands.   Having concrete floors in the back of the shop is perfect for someone like myself who seems to like garden pieces more if they are Really, Really heavy.
