LuxGuard™ Glass Display Cabinet — Sword Collection, Victoria

A sword collection should be seen from pommel to tip, without fingerprints on the steel. For a collector in Victoria we supplied a LuxGuard™ glass display cabinet in a silver frame, 1.2m wide and 2m tall, giving more than a dozen swords, sabres and katanas one bright, dust-free place to live.

Why the doors face the back

The cabinet has sliding doors, but here it is turned so the doors face the back. What faces the room is one clear pane of glass, so no door frames or handles cross the blades and every sword reads end to end. With the doors against the back, the collection is also out of easy reach.

Lit from every corner

LED strips run up all four corners and three downlights sit in the canopy, so light falls across every shelf, not just the top. Four toughened glass shelves hold the sword stands, with the longest katanas on the cabinet floor. At 500mm deep there is room for stands holding three blades each. The cabinet was delivered interstate to Victoria in 2019.
