PLATE HOLDERS

Interesting home tidbit: I, against the advice of many interior designers, hang plates on my walls. I am a blue and white and Delft freak, and when you have so many blue and white plates, what else can you do besides hang them on the wall? So I was pretty surprised when the ceramic backing on one gave way, thankfully before the plate came loose from the wall, fell and crashed to an unfortunate (and messy) destiny.

The good folks at Art Dallas have found a museum-quality solution: acrylic arms custom made for each plate to grip it, and then, voila, hang it on the wall. They have also solved another major problem I have had for three years: how to hang an interesting ceramic mask I bought at an antique shop in Miyajima, Japan. This acrylic deal will be custom made to grip the mask, and finally, I can hang it on the wall!

I’ll take photos of these holders as soon as I get my plates back from Art Dallas… stay tuned.
