Dishwall Display Drama

April 11, 2011 by Jane F 1 Comment

dishwall display - chinese export dishes displayed on a library wall - WOI via AtticmagChina patterns look great grouped as a dishwall display and massing dishes maximizes the impact.

We plan to move sometime during the next year and even though we own a house with plenty of storage space, I’m going to have too many dishes. Way too many. So I’ve been thinking about repurposing my pale green Limoges which I’ve had forever but rarely use by creating a dishwall display — hanging them in a group on a kitchen or sunroom wall.

While hanging dishes is no secret, the way it’s done can make a huge difference between a weak and a strong showing. That occurred to me the moment I saw the photo [top] of a paneled library in Asia where the walls were completely covered with a collection of amazing blue and white Chinese export dishes. While the example is based on an extraordinary set – with huge chargers and dozens of pieces – it could be done to great effect on the right size wall and even part of a service for twelve, which is what I have.

While the style is elaborate and historical the concept feels ripe for modernization! Wall brackets (incorrectly called sconces) are difficult to find and anything old or elaborate is bizarrely expensive.

dishwall display - contemporary block wall brackets for displaying vases or dishes - wall-shelf.cn via AtticmagMy idea is to update by using brackets like these contemporary block brackets and others in a variety of modern styles (or something funky and antique-y but not old-world serious). Woodworking sites sell all styles and sizes and here’s where a can of spray paint or leftover latex and a sanding sponge can facilitate some amazing transformations. Either the brackets and the dishes can be as modern or antique as your décor and vision require.
