Victorian Design

Victorian design refers to the artistic and architectural styles that emerged during the reign of Queen Victoria in the 19th century, roughly from 1837 to 1901. Characterized by ornate details, elaborate patterns, and a mix of influences (including Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque), Victorian design is seen in furniture, textiles, and buildings. This period celebrated craftsmanship and used rich materials and colors to create warm, inviting spaces. It aimed to showcase wealth and comfort, reflecting the social changes of the time, such as industrialization and the rise of the middle class.
