I use a black curtain rod (you can buy them at target, home depot, etc.) to display my quilts at home. They usually will have some packages of rings with small clips that you can buy in addition to the curtain rod.

They are very affordable. I bought them in several sizes back when they didn't have online ordering. I had to call to order and they were so nice.
