ABOUT

The Plinth Store offers high-quality, museum-grade plinths and display pedestals for artists, photographers, retailers, art collectors and events.

Our online store is supported by our pop-up showroom in Smith Street, Fitzroy which is open by appointment.

CRAFTED

The Plinth Store came about when the art gallerist and photographer Rory Daniel needed plinths for his Fitzroy gallery. He quickly discovered that there was a lack of plinth builders in Melbourne who specialise in museum-quality plinths. So he made his first set of plinths for his gallery.

Recognising the need for high-quality plinths Rory decided to make plinths for other galleries, artists and collectors. His client base has extended to photographers and retailers who have a need for plinths.

Your plinth is proudly handmade by Rory Daniel, who builds them in his Fitzroy studio, above the contemporary art gallery - Smith + Gertrude.

His father and grandfather were woodworkers - art and making is in his blood.

SIZES

We keep eleven standard plinth sizes in a white finish in stock. These are usually available for immediate pick-up.

See the store for details.

CUSTOMISATION

Need a special size, colour or finish specific to your needs? We can customise your plinth, just for you. Give us a call or drop us a message here for a quotation.

We can wrap your plinth with your logo, or text. Contact us to discuss your needs in detail.

PICK-UP

Your plinth can be collected from our workshop above Smith + Gertrude Art gallery at 73 Smith Street, Fitzroy.

MUSEUM-GRADE

The 45 degree mitred joints give your plinth extra strength as well as a cleaner exterior - the fancy joints hide the any joint marks in the corner, making them almost invisible. This is much better than traditional plinths made with right angle joints which expose the unsightly sides of one of the boards in the join.

INVISIBLE JOINS

You’ll find flat surfaces on each side of your plinth - no nail holes, pins, screws or uneven surfaces.

Your plinths are finished with a quality flat paint that doesn’t detract from your artwork as they atop them.
