A vintage wall-hanging curio display shelf with a reddish-brown wood frame, two glass shelves and a mirrored back. The top has a scalloped trim along the front edge, and the open front makes it easy to place and rearrange pieces. The mirror back reflects whatever is on display and makes the case look deeper than it is, and the mirrored bottom gives a third display level. At about 3.4 inches deep, it is sized for small figurines, miniature ceramics, thimbles, shells and other small keepsakes. It suits a living room, hallway, study or a collector's wall.

Background

Small wall curio shelves like this were a popular way to show miniatures and souvenirs in the late 20th century. An original label on the back reads "HANDCRAFTED IN TAIWAN." The mirror is set against an orange backing board, and two metal hanging brackets are attached to the back, so it is ready to hang.

Condition

Good vintage condition. There are small chips along the top edges and corners of the wood, plus light scratches and general surface wear. Both glass shelves and the mirror are present. The orange backing on the reverse has a crossed strip of tape. Please see all photos.
