About the Designs

The Victorian period saw an entirely new Britain erege with the industrial revolution and the onset of mass production. Decorative art of this age was characterized by a mix of older styles in new combinations. Every conceivable surface was covered with ornate decoration including furniture, ceramics, metal, textiles, glass and architecture, as well as interior design. Influences were apparent from Japan. China, India and Africa, reflecting the growth in world trade. All of these elements were brought together to produce a profusion of color and contrasting design.

Queen Victoria reigned for over sixty years and the period encompassed many decorative styles. The work of William Morris, the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Art Nouveau period are probably those most well known. Each had an influence on the other and predominantly the Victorians favored highly decorative design, where natural form, classical and baroque influences came together to create a very elaborate form of decorative art.
