Victorian Living Room

If you have a chance to sit down in any well preserved Victorian home and you are apt to find that the space holds both an opulence and stoic formality. It was the social centerpiece of the 19th century middle and upper class homes, crafted around their cultural values and decorum fit during the era. With its heavy drapes, tufted furniture, and ornate family portraits, the Victorian parlor room was more than simply a sitting place, but a poignant symbol of financial success and respectability.
