Victorian Era, 1837 to 1901, was |
an exciting time of tremendous
growth both in Europe and America.A mass migration
from Europe brought skilled carvers, craftsmen
and artisans to the United States. Industry
was booming, wealth was increasing and optimism
abound. Reflecting this new prosperity, homes
began to be more lavishly decorated stretching
the boundaries of style beyond previous borders.
In a desire to incorporate the latest design
trends, home decoration ventured in new directions
blending styles in what came to be known as
Victorian Eclecticism. |
