    SWMBO began to notice platoons of lamps and stoves appearing in various parts of the house (don't mention the shed!), so decided a 'dedicated area' be established.

    Some very good furniture makers built this for us (Tasmanian Oak, Eucalyptus regnant). Now to finish filling it up (with the unfettled collection in the shed which appear to be breeding).

    My modest collection.
    Just keep looking for spare spots on shelves around the place. My bigger lamps aren't allowed into the house. Maybe my suggestion of hanging them from the ceiling might have been the cause. :-s

    All of these displays make my 'small but select' collection seem rather mean but I find the biggest problem is how to display chandeliers of which I have three. Any suggestions?

    Hello Jean, I just fit large steel hooks into the ceiling beams and hang lamps from them, Jeff.
