Victorian textiles

Victorian textiles refer to the fabrics and patterns produced during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. This era was marked by industrial advancements, leading to mass production of textiles. Common materials included cotton, silk, and wool. Patterns like paisleys, florals, and intricate designs were popular, reflecting the tastes of the time. Textiles were used in clothing, upholstery, and home décor, showcasing both elegance and craftsmanship. The Victorian approach emphasized opulence, with layers and textures that conveyed status and style, influencing fashion and interior design well beyond the 19th century.
