Victorian Style Furniture
"Victorian style furniture" refers to home decor and furniture inspired by the aesthetic of the Victorian era in England (1837-1901). Typical features of furniture from this period were often ornate carvings, bold color decorations, and elaborate designs, including chairs, tables, sofas, and dressing tables.
This style was developed by British furniture makers in the 19th century, exuding iconic refinement and elegance. They embraced a unique aesthetic to welcome a new era, moving away from Georgian-era furniture and the Federal style of previous decades, instead embracing dark woods, luxurious decorations, and an exquisite sense of opulence.
Furthermore, advancements in technology during the Industrial Revolution sparked a new interest in mechanized furniture, with many Victorian-era manufacturers incorporating these interests into innovative designs known as "patent furniture." As for current trends, modern interpretations of Victorian style furniture are making a comeback. |  |
Here are some distinctive hallmarks of Victorian style furniture:
Exquisite Carvings
Victorian furniture designers were inspired by various influences, including Gothic, Tudor, Elizabethan, Renaissance, British Rococo, and Neoclassical elements. With such diverse inspirations, it's no surprise that Victorian style furniture is known for its exquisite carvings.
This attention to detail in carving can be seen in the Victorian era round end bar table pictured. The round end bar table features intricate carvings of acanthus leaves and floral decorations, complemented perfectly by inlaid glass and mirrors.
You can also find horseshoe-shaped chairs with serpent front legs. Just like the chair shown on the right, furniture often features ball-and-claw feet, small round feet, or spiral designs, emphasizing the Victorian era's focus on intricate craftsmanship. |

Indoor Decor
During the Victorian era, people were very generous with their interior decor. They loved sitting on plush chairs with soft padding and fabric covers, which were often rich, dark, and lavish in color.
As for fabrics, brocades (silk brocade satin, gold and silver brocade satin, and artificial silk brocade satin) were popular, while woolens (camel or horsehair) felt stiff, even coarse to the touch. Other fabrics included velvets, velours, plush, and tapestries (tapestries were typically heavy in weight, featuring intricate patterns or designs).

Materials
Victorian style furniture typically uses noble woods like oak, walnut, mahogany, or cherry (rosewood and mahogany are often considered top choices), complemented with metal or glass accents. Dovetail joints are the most popular method used to connect wooden parts together.
A high-gloss finish is also a major characteristic of Victorian-era furniture. Take this table, for example, featuring the iconic rosewood, along with gilded brass supports and a tooled leather writing surface.
Victorian-era tables are visually captivating, evoking memories of times gone by. Even over a century later, they still reflect the refinement of that era.
