VINTAGE COLLECTORS - SHOWCASING YOUR JOYS

Dear All

Quite a number of you are collectors, arent you?  I know quite a number of them among my regular customers. Over the years,  they accumulated quite a bit of some of the finest things that bring them joy and meaning in their lives. And the kind of things they collect is interesting - feng shui animal symbols, tiny perfume bottles, coca cola and guinness stout collectibles,  macdonalds and KFC  toys, tin toys, hello kitty stuffs, teddy bears, old porcelain sharpeners, teapots,  luggages, silverwares, brasswares, glasses, Chinese porcelains, peranakan wares, books, accessories, cuff links, gemstones, old plates, clocks, telephones, vinyl records, guitars, coins, watches, cameras, transistor radios, stamps, old  black and white photographs, enamelwares, paintings, Chinese calligraphies , etc - the list is endless really. 

Either for investment or for the pure joy of them, most of them can never stop because the passion for them is too great to resist.  As a good friend of mine and an ardent collector of midcentury furniture, Chris Tay would say:  a collector will always be a collector.

For vintage collectors, one of the challenges is finding good storage and showcase for their beloved collections. Vintage collectibles deserve vintage showcases.  The latter can really bring out the beauty and value of the collections.  For these reason, I hunted down some small and medium vintage size showcases and display glass cabinets to meet the demand of space conscious  collectors.

Hope you like my finds below:
