Victorian style: rediscover a timeless design

Victorian style tiles are a very interesting topic. Why interesting? Because despite the fact that the style originates from a bygone era, it is still present in many contemporary interiors. Tiles that are direct copies of 19th century British tiles, or contemporary versions, are incredibly popular.The reign of Queen Victoria, is known as the golden period for the British Empire, which then became a world power and colonial power. With the industrial revolution came the development of housing and a way of furnishing that combined elements from different styles, eras and parts of the world was taking shape. The Victorian style is therefore not homogeneous; the design of a typical interior was a mixture of Gothic, Renaissance, Neoclassical and also Oriental elements. What distinguishes a Victorian interior is the decorative nature of the design elements. Tiles from the Victorian era are extremely durable which is why we can still find them in old houses, tenements, staircases and factories.
