The George Glazer Gallery now offers custom stands for pocket globes, gavels, collectibles, coral and minerals, and various small decorative arts objects. Each is handcrafted by a maker of displays and mounts for major museums, dealers and collectors nationwide.
Generally the stands are in a simple Modernist style with black Plexiglas rectangular bases. Additional options include clear Plexiglas covers and brass hand-lettered label plates. Each stand is custom designed and handmade to complement the object as well as support and preserve it. Prices vary, generally ranging from $100 to $750 each. For a price quote on a custom base, please inquire. Below are some examples of our custom stands:

Pocket Globe: The intricate map gores on a three-inch diameter pocket globe and its case are displayed while protected from dust and handling. Each is mounted on a brass armature that holds it securely, while being easily removable. One armature holds the case open, while the other raises the globe on a simple half meridian and stem. Shown above from different sides, and with a plexiglas lid. |

Souvenir Cable: A 19th century souvenir of a four-inch section of the first transatlantic cable "floats" about an inch above the black base on a T-shaped wire support (above). Coral and Minerals: A large piece of white coral rests in a custom fitted armature that slots into a black base. The coral is removable (right). |
