A typical room of the period would be crammed full of furniture.
Pictures and miniatures covered the walls,
and every available surface would be filled
with trophies, souveniers, lamps, vases,
pottery figures, flowers and bric-a-brac and
leafy green plants.
An important piece of hall furniture was the
stand to take coats, hats and umbrellas.
Upholstered pieces included the ottoman,
chaise lounge. Oriental rugs are ideal for a
Victorian room, reflecting an interest in
exotic places. Paisleys, too give an
authentic touch. In the 1860s white and

rooms furnished in the "louis" style.
