If you are purchasing one of my Victorian displays and are familiar with Antique Victorian displays, you are aware of that they have usually fallen into disarray and disintegrated to the point that they no longer show well. My displays mimic the antique look without everything being washed out and tattered due to extreme age. I keep my displays as economical as possible enabling me to make them a lot more affordable than the true antiques. Every display shows well and is sure to be noticed and commented on! All my displays are hand crafted using only the highest quality of items available and as many natural pieces as possible. Much time and thought are invested into each ONE OF A KIND DISPLAY (unless otherwise noted) as to bring life to the natural beauty of each animal so they may be enjoyed for years to come.These displays will fascinate as well as inspire wonder in all who view!
