Brackets are an incredibly effective way of displaying a collection of Chinoiserie porcelain. In the bedroom above, Mary Watkins Wood used brackets to bring order to a large collection of blue and white ginger jars. The three key points are that the collection needs to go together-all blanc de Chine, all celadon, or all blue and white, for example. Second, the brackets need to be all the same color-say all white or all gold if not all the same style. Third, play around with a pleasing layout-symmetrical seems to work best.

That Kevin Sharkey wall always makes my heart skip a beat...love corbels and use them a lot in my own home. Great photos!
I like how each of these interiors interprets the look in a modern/fresh way...one false move and they could all look dated, but they don't!
i absolutely love this idea. brackets look fantastic! great find.
Those brackets give the jars (or whatever you put on them) so much more importance! Great post as usual!
A fabulous way to mke a collection of importance stand out!!
