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.

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. Perry L.
