History |
The Victorian period (1837-1901) in Canada saw the development of a wide variety of furniture styles that replaced the more classical styles of the Empire period. Some of the new styles included the rococo-revival or 'Modern-French' style which brought about more 'naturalistic' and 'rounded' curves and more 'ornamental' details.
