Living With Antiques

Some tricks to draw attention to prize finds.


Discover strength in numbers. Grouping items yields big impact. For smaller items, such as creamware gelatin molds or vintage jewelry pins, arrange the grouping on a silver tray.

Explore new heights. Try stacking a few items from one collection on top of a cabinet.

Organize by color. When displaying a number of different items, color is a great unifier, like this book collection below.

Don't forget about the walls. Most anything can be hung or mounted. Give tabletop items new attention on a wall, or line plate rails with vintage photos.
