Jasper Cabinet

Curio cabinets have been used to display collectibles for centuries. Hundreds of years ago, kings had special curio rooms to display items that aroused interest and curiosity. Royally-appointed cabinet makers designed and built special cabinets that were lavishly made and featured large amounts of glass. In Victorian times, curio cabinets were very popular in drawing rooms and used as conversation pieces. The styles and designs may have changed over the years, but curio cabinets are still used to display items of value or interest. Modern curio cabinets are constructed with glass panels that are supported by frames made of metal or wood.

The cabinets feature glass panels on the front and sides. Many units have glass panels on four sides so that the cabinet can be openly displayed in room interiors. Usually constructed without enclosed compartments, the units are made specifically to display collectibles such as figurines or fine china.

Modern construction often includes interior lights and mirrored backs. Shelves are made of glass and can be adjusted to various heights. Items displayed inside curio cabinets remain free of dust and out of harm's way. Curio cabinets come in various sizes and some can be placed in corners or hung on walls. The units are usually tall and different from display cases because items are viewed upright and from all angles instead of lying down on a backing material, as is the case with display cases.
