History
  • Furniture of the late 19th century, particularly from the Victorian era, often features intricate designs and materials like bamboo and tortoiseshell, signifying the craftsmanship prevalent during that time.
  • The turn of the century marked a period where design elements were heavily influenced by nature, with bamboo being a popular material in Victorian furniture, reflecting a trend towards the exotic and artisan-made items.
  • Antique bookshelves from this era are representative of the growing importance placed on home libraries, as literacy rose and personal collections became reflections of individual taste and social status.
