Well, I got a stand with a heavy wooden basis plate, a one-arm vertical beam, with a claw-like hand to hold the vertical sword, which has to be in it's scabbard. Horicontal stands also offer the possibility to show the blade, which is nice, too, isn't it?

Here's one example of the most common style of Chinese Sword Stand, called a Daojiazi in Mandarin. We sold this one thru Seven Stars Trading a couple of years back.

From theis side view of the above daojiazi (Sword Stand) you can see how they are typically designed to hold swords on both their front & back sides. Everyone that I have seen has also hade the "Wu" character in the center.

This sounds like a version of Japanese katana stands that are designed to hold swords vertically, what do you think?

I really like the vertical style sword stand and when I finally get around to having my custom jian made I'm going to display it in that style stand.

Most of the stands I've seen are about 31" (79 cm.) tall and 18" (46 cm.) wide. All are quite ornate & made as quality pieces of furniture.
