Victorian lights, art, furniture, decor, & architecture of the 19th century took different forms in each country, but all agreed it was ornate, elegant, whimsical, and graceful. French, Italian, Prussian, and English, Victorian-era designers adored the elaborate curves and nature-inspired patterns.

Think of shells, palm leaves, dragons, and flowers, to see the origins of this romantic Rococo design style . When Victorians tired of classicism's straight lines looked to historic inspiration, they brought it back as Neo-Rococo (1820-1870).
