Safe and proper display of art and artifacts is an important factor in any collection. In addition to artifact restoration and conservation I now offer custom made, high-quality display stands made from welded steel. Each display stand will be custom fabricated to perfectly fit individual artifacts and show them at their best. All custom display stands are fabricated with heavy 1/4 inch thick steel base plates. Base plate width and length dimensions and other support structures (armatures) will be determined based on the weight and size of the item being mounted. Display stands will be sized and constructed proportionally and designed to be as visually appealing and discreet as possible. The stands are finished with a primer coating and multiple layers of matte (flat) black top coats for a durable finish. When possible and appropriate, rubber end-caps will be added to the tips of the supports to better protect the item being displayed. Felt pads are added to the bottom of the base plate. Note: When requesting a custom display please let me know in advance if you have any shelf height limitations, etc. Feel free to contact me at joey@ancientartifax.com with any other questions or concerns. Base Types - Options & Upgrades: I offer several options for base shapes, thickness and designs. You may choose a standard (basic) single layer square or rectangular base plate or upgrade to other shapes and designs. Upgrade options include circular plates, double-thick stepped bases and box-riser designs. Other options are available as well: plate stands, custom shapes, tripod ring stands, etc. Ring stands for round-bottomed bowls and vases can be made in any size (ring diameter and leg heights) and are available in 3-leg (tripod) and 4-leg designs. The standard finish is matte black, but custom colors are also available. Prices vary depending on size, design, color and type of base you choose. Please indicate your preference(s) if you would like a price estimate for your project.
Frequently Asked Questions Q What is the pricing for custom display stands? A Cost for basic display stands start in the $50 range. Prices increase with size, base upgrades and overall complexity. New clients may be asked to pay in advance via check or PayPal. Sorry, I do not accept credit cards or bank transfers. Credit card payments can be processed through PayPal. Q Is it necessary that the item(s) be shipped to you for fabrication of custom display stands? A Yes, it is important that the items be shipped to me to insure an exact fit. Creating custom fitted display stands from emailed photos and dimensions is difficult and problematic. I must have the items in-hand during the fabrication process. The client is responsible for all shipping costs to and from my studio in North Carolina. Q What is the turnaround time for custom display stands? A Demand for custom stands has increased dramatically, but I can typically complete custom display requests within 1 week after receipt of the item(s). Q Are items permanently attached to the display stand? A No. I do not permanently attached any item to the stand. Items are removable for examination and study. Q Can I get display stands in colors other than black? A Yes, other colors are available, but color selection is limited. Costs will be slightly higher for display stands finished in colors other than matte black. Q Are custom display stands available to clients outside of the United States? A No. I do not offer custom display services to international clients. Q Are the items on this web page for sale? A No. The items shown here are owned by numerous clients and are not for sale on this website. Please see my Gallery pages for a wide variety of ancient art and ethnographic artifacts that are available for purchase.
