What it does
A matched group of stands in graduated heights, covered in one material, so a case reads as one composition rather than as assorted props.
Metal on a stand set, specifically
The whole set must be plated in the same batch. Two batches of the same finish are visibly different side by side, and there is no correcting it afterwards.
Getting the proportion right
Three to five heights is the usual working set. What matters is the proportion between them, not the absolute sizes.
How metal display is made
Metal display is formed and plated or powder-coated rather than covered. The finish is decided at the plating stage and cannot be adjusted afterwards, so the sample matters more here than on any wrapped material.
Where it is used
Complete case dressing and new shop fit-outs.
Metal under case lighting
A polished metal display throws hard reflections and will bounce a spot straight back at the customer. Brushed and matt finishes are the usual specification in a lit case; polish belongs in a window where the light is controlled.
The mistake to avoid
Buying stands piecemeal over years is how a case ends up with four slightly different whites. A set ordered in one run does not have that problem.
Why metal
Metal display — brass, gold finish, black or silver — gives the thinnest possible support. A metal stand almost disappears, which is the point: the piece appears to float.
Wipe with a dry cloth. A brushed finish hides handling better than a polished one.

Frequently asked questions
Can stand sets be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the metal is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do stand sets come in?
They are made to your dimensions. Three to five heights is the usual working set. What matters is the proportion between them, not the absolute sizes.
Is metal a good choice for a stand set?
The whole set must be plated in the same batch. Two batches of the same finish are visibly different side by side, and there is no correcting it afterwards.
What goes wrong most often with stand sets?
Buying stands piecemeal over years is how a case ends up with four slightly different whites. A set ordered in one run does not have that problem.
Can stand sets be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same metal and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
