Background to Victorian decoration and furniture. Design of anything in a particular period will depend on the social and creative background to the period and in Victorian Britain there was a massive diversity in styles and a high output of furniture. The Victorians loved to show off their wealth and good taste and this was demonstrated by the interior design and decoration of their homes and the furniture they chose for it. The newly rich entrepreneurs wanted to be seen as equal to or better than the aristocracy and the new middle class wanted to show their success and status to their friends - these desires were manifested in the diversity of furniture styles and choices that were marketed to them. The business class chose furniture with a classical design, which was at odds with the furniture found in the average middle-class home or even those of many wealthy people. However these new designs were copied in a simplified and more economical fashion by other furniture manufacturers and produced on a large scale to sell to the mass market. The design of much Victorian furniture was widely based on older furniture designs. In the first part of Victoria's reign, many design styles were simply copies of earlier ones however in many cases. This period was characterized by more attention paid to surface decoration using gilting, mountings and inlays. Conversely, many later Victorian designs were more about structure and shape. Victorian Arts and Crafts furniture cannot be described as being of one single style but the designers shared a common philosophy of 'honesty' of construction and hand-crafted work with one person responsible for all stages of production. Japanese style furniture was a definite craze because in 1853 Japan reopened its borders and many artists becoming inspired by their unique and interesting aesthetic. Many thought leaders loved the simplicity, purity of form and strong affinity with nature in Japanese art and a group of British designers tried to capture the spirit of the east in their creations. Many furniture makers also started to use dark mahogany which was becoming widely available as the British empire expanded across the globe.
