Default Questions about displaying an antique quilt

Hey guys. New to the forum.

I have a 1930s farmhouse quilt. It has quite a bit of value to me personally, and it is beautiful. I really want to display it. Right now I just have it draped over an antique clothing rack which only allows for half of one side to be viewed.

Everything I can find on displaying antique quilts suggests sewing a sleeve or velcro directly to the quilt. This seems very intrusive and damaging in my opinion. I do not want have to alter the existing quilt.

Does anybody have any alternative options for displaying a quilt like this?

It is roughly 80 x 60" and heavy. Thanks!
