Antique Mahogany or Antique Pine Household Furniture
 
Somewhere in Time, Ramsbottom, Rossendale, Lancashire, United Kingdom
 
Victorian Period 1837 to 1901
Most of the period architecture forming the nucleus of a British town centre today, dates back to the 19th century.  The latter half of that century, the Victorian period, was one of unprecedented change and progress, thanks largely to a new rich middle class Britain.  This new found affluence and status was reflected in the type of housing, and the style in which these homes were furnished.  Thanks to this period of prosperity, houses and furniture were constructed to a high standard, and in today's climate of rising manufacturing costs, make a sound investment.

The Industrial Revolution brought a mass migration of agricultural labour to the towns and cities.  Improved pay and conditions through progressive reforms offered better prospects in the cotton mills, coal mines, potteries and iron foundries.  Britain's empire brought food from abroad, and the railway system made transportation of goods much faster.

Despite a glut of wealth and ingenuity, the Victorians lacked identity.  Looking to the tried and tested they went about a revival of old styles, from Classical to Gothic, Elizabethan, Jacobean and Queen Anne.  Although these previous styles had their turn of being revived, the Victorian architects were happy to add their own embelishments, making them easily distinguishable from the original.  Victorian architecture can be seen in profusion throughout the English speaking nations.

The latter part of the 19th century was an era of "cover up", where every surface in the middle class drawing room or parlour was crammed with clutter.  Bareness and lack of ornamentation was considered in poor taste.  In contrast the William Morris style reverted to the pre industrial age, fulfilling a growing nostalgia for simple rural trappings, with a strong resurgence in oak furniture.  Minimalism through choice rather than austerity is a recurring trend.
