You're spot-on in everything you said about Firefly/Mr. Fillion. :)
Could you possibly lay flat and press behind glass the sari/saris? Fold them in some interesting way so as to display the material/patterns but keep them intact? That could be really cool.
The saris are all six or nine yards of heavy silk plus gold thread, so they're really heavy and glass would add even more weight. I like your idea of folding rather than cutting, but I'm not sure if the wall can support all of that weight. Anyway, my mom is coming over to see the apartment tomorrow, and hopefully she'll have a few ideas!
I've seen kimonos displayed on a long wooden bar, the sleeves spread out - if you get a good anchor, it would be easy to hang them, though it might take more wall space than you have. They make picture hangers that hold up to 100 pounds, so you could probably find something.
I'm with you - cutting them would be a crying shame. They sound absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for the ideas - I'm not sure whether I'll put the saris up or try to find something else to fill the space, but you've given me food for thought!
