About Antique Victorian Lamps

The Victorian style, encompassing all things elegant, shiny, and frivolous, was popular between the 1840s and the early 1900s. Victorian lighting ranged from ornate candelabras to oil lamps to early electric lamps. Among other things, Victorian era lamps are known for floral imagery, and for ornate lampshades with hanging tassels.
