The Victorian decorative arts refers to the style of decorative applications and design created during the Victorian era, roughly from 1837 to about 1910. Victorian design is widely viewed as having indulged in a grand excess of ornament. The Victorian era is known for its interpretation and eclectic revival of historic styles mixed with the introduction of middle east and Asian influences in furniture, fittings, and interior decoration. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau style have their beginnings in the later half of the Victorian era.
Many Americans still prefer to decorate their Christmas trees in the fashion of the former Victorians. So, it would follow that there would still be great interest in designing gift wrap, trims, stockings etc... to compliment the Victorian Christmas Theme in the homes of those people who love the Era.
