Deciding how to present vintage items at events is always an
issue, events have differences in space and lighting that can have a big impact
on presentation. It also matters what mix of items you are choosing to display
(See part 1 Picking & Packing).
Having tried a few different formats, I currently use a
display style that echoes a traditional dining table. I use vintage cloths and
layout glass and metalware separately from jewellery. I then light it with
little lights (varying the extent of this depending on the lighting in the
venue) that echo a table arrangement. I also often have one large piece with
small items displayed on it echoing the idea of a table centrepiece, though it
may not be in the centre. This could be a serving salver or a small stand but I
vary it according to venue. What’s right for display varies with items, venue
and customers.
It’s always worth trying out new approaches.
