Plate Holders and Wall Racks
Making a house a home
Home is where the heart is and the kitchen and dining area is the heartbeat of the home. It's where families spend the most quality time interacting and communicating. One way to make the dining area more homey is with an attractive plate holder to display... plates, be they heirlooms, wedding gifts, garage sale finds or other shopping treasures. Whether built in to a cabinet or placed on top of a counter or buffet, plate holders are a functional way to create additional storage. They make a great bridal shower gift, anniversary gift, mother's day, hostess gift or a thoughtful thank you present.
Sometimes plate holders are a whole system, customized to fit your cabinetry. There are wall mounted plate holders that enhance a kitchen or dining room's decor. There are free standing plate holders that can blend into the background or stand out as conversation pieces. And there are individual plate holders to display favorite pieces of china. One of my fond (and bipartisan) childhood memories is of spending time in my beloved grandmother's home in New York and the two plate holders standing on the living room console, one holding a porcelain plate with an image of Dwight D. Eisenhower and another of John F. Kennedy. Once on my own, I've enjoyed collecting Mexican earthenware and love to display a rotating set of regional pieces on counters and even on a polished, antique wooden desk. Sometimes I even like to use individual plate racks to display framed or even unframed photos and works of art. For the more whimsical, they might be a way to show off vinyl records, hats, fans and other memorabilia.
Here we've curated some auction finds that we find functional and attractive. We're found antique plate holders, English plate holders, deco plate holders, French plate holders, silver plate holders, wooden plate holders, and many more.

And of course, our usual caveat, research your purchase with care!
