The Victorian period lasted from the years 1837 to 1901 and was so called because Queen Victoria was on the throne during this period. However, more than simply being a fascinating time in English history, the Victorian era gave birth to opulence and an appreciation of the finer things in life. With vast developments in the communication field and in transportation, people were able to source fabrics and materials from far off fields and these were used to decorate the homes of the wealthy. The Victorian lampshade is one item which clearly displayed the Victorian's love for rich and luxurious fabrics, such as silk and beaded lace. The colors used during this era were bold and the fabrics lavish and today, decorators are bringing Victorian-styled accessories, like the Victorian lampshade into contemporary designs and using the Victorian lampshade to contrast the present-day designs and accessories. Yvonne, founder of the company, Victorian lampshades, with more than fifteen years of experience in the design and production of the Victorian lampshade has for years impressed buyers with her lampshades, which are lavish and decadent and an accurate reflection of the bygone Victorian era.
