What is the name of the place trophies go?

Question

My best guess is trophy case but I'm assuming I'm wrong.

Mine go on the mantelpiece, even though I don't have a mantelpiece. But then I don't have all that many trophies, either.
Or trophy shelf, if the trophies aren't enclosed in glass.

In the UK it's invariably a trophy cabinet.

	I find trophy cabinet unambiguous, whereas the first thing I thought of for trophy case was some sort of soft slip-case to wrap and protect it. But I’m precaffeinated, so the analogy with book case didn’t come to mind at first. – tchrist Nov 27 '12 at 12:56

If you don't want to lock them up in a display case, a pedestal will do fine.

(a display case you dedicate to storing trophies becomes a trophy case...)

Saying trophy case is just fine.
