After much thinking, I've realized that aesthetic-wise I'm more fond of Victorian than anything else. I still intend to wear 1930s and 1940s suits and collect some accoutrements from that period; however, Victorian furniture and such (or repro furniture of that style) is more interesting to me. Are there any collectors of Victoriana out here? I'd think so, but I haven't seen a thread dedicated to that purpose.
What particularly interests me is Victorian Wunderkammern or "curiosity cabinets/curiosity rooms" where people displayed their strangest artifacts, both natural (e.g. coral, shells, human skulls, preserved insects) and man-made (e.g. strange brass instruments, primitive art, ancient mandolins).
