A curio (or curio cabinet) is a predominantly glass cabinet with a metal or wood framework used to display collections of figurines or other objects that share some common theme. Most curios have glass on each side, or possibly a mirror at the back, and glass shelves to show the entire figurine. A curio may also be used to display a single crafted doll or other object of special interest. A curio prevents dust and vermin from destroying the value of the collection. Often, a locked door or removable panel allows the collection to be seen, while protecting it from damage or theft. A curio is a specialized type of display case. A display case may be horizontal, for example, to display jewellery for sale on top of a felt background. By contrast, a curio is usually vertical to show standing items, and usually has no bottom lining. ==See also== *Cupboard *Stationary cabinet 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curio cabinet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
