VINTAGE VISION

From the archives, a decorated Victorian parlor in repose, with wall decoration and textiles.

Handcrafted and larger than a child’s rug, this Faux Bearskin Rug in Polar White measures 6 ½ x5 ½ feet. It’s from fringecollection, Los Angeles, and sold through Etsy, for $1,300. etsy.com/shop/fringecollection

The extensive Neo-Classical Roomset features patterns for ceiling, cove, frieze, wall, and dado. Shown is the ‘Italianate Border’, to accompany the ’Juno Enrichment’ and ‘Renaissance Damask’ wall fill ($79/single roll). The Jasper colorway has a quiet, stony elegance.

Perfect for a Victorian Neoclassical room, the 16" Piano Desk Lamp with Ornate Base is made of solid brass and has an Antique Brass finish. The shade is included; two sockets for 60 w bulbs; $300.90. houseofantiquehardware.com

Interior shutter-blinds were used extensively in the often multi-layered window dressings of the Victorian era. These, with traditional 1 7 /8" louvers, are from Americana’s DeVenco line. When they’re pushed open, the upper shutters can hide in the valance swags. Custom pricing: shutterblinds.com

With all the hallmarks of a layered Victorian room, this one is, nevertheless, sparsely furnished and delicate. Wallpaper accompanies stenciling, and the textile enhancements are notable.
