Fun Historical Fact

Victorian Revival design periodically returned to the elaborate decorative vocabulary popular during the 19th century, including floral motifs, scrollwork, and richly ornamented metalwork. During the mid-20th century, traditional interiors continued to incorporate decorative furnishings inspired by earlier European and Victorian forms alongside increasingly popular modernist designs. Brass was particularly well suited to revival pieces because it could be formed into intricate ornamental components while developing a distinctive patina with age. Mirrors with elaborate metal frames served both a practical purpose and as decorative architectural accents within traditional interiors.
