Questions About Before The Victorian Era
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Because the United States isn't ruled by a king or queen, the time of 1840–1900 in America is broken down into many different names. There is the timeline surrounding the Civil War: The Antebellum (pre-Civil War), Civil War (1861–1865), Reconstruction (1865–1876). There are other names, including the Industrial Age (post Civil War), the Populist Era (1890's), and the Gilded Age (post-Civil War era of government corruption).
- When was the Byzantine era?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The Byzantine era started around 395 CE when the Roman Empire split. The Byzantine era ended in 1453. During its time, it was one of the leading civilizations of the world.
- What era are slip dresses from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Slip dresses were popular during the 1990s (although slips were commonly worn as undergarments decades prior to this era). In 1993, supermodel Kate Moss made headlines by stepping out in a super-sheer one, and musician Courtney Love introduced slip dresses to the grunge fashion scene. In 2016, Burberry and Saint Laurent included slip dresses in their collections as a nod to the 1990s. Shop a variety of slip dresses on 1stDibs.
- What era are tulip tables from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Tulip tables are from the mid-century modern era. Finnish-American architect and furniture maker Eero Saarinen created the table in 1956 as part of the Pedestal collection of chairs and stools. The Pedestal table and its accompanying Tulip armchairs and armless chairs comprised cast-aluminum bases (“Tulip” became a common descriptor for all of the furnishings in the collection). Each table, stool and chair was crafted with a single, tapered cylindrical leg that descends to a base that flares into a circle, giving the illusion of being one piece. The series was designed for Knoll Inc. On 1stDibs, find vintage Tulip tables from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023There is no single era that tassel earrings are from. The Ancient Egyptians were the first to sport tassel earrings, and during the 16th century, French artisans of the Guild of the Passementiers became known for creating intricate gemstone-set tassels. Tassel earrings became a trend again in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Find a large selection of tassel earrings on 1stDibs.
- What era were cardigans popular?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Cardigans became popular for women in the 1920s, thanks to Coco Chanel’s button-down iterations of the cardigans worn in the 1800s. Queen Elizabeth has worn cardigans for decades, and in the 1990s, musician Kurt Cobain wore these sweaters, introducing them to a whole new generation. As First Lady, Michelle Obama often wore cardigans, leading to a reported spike in sales. In 2020, pop star Taylor Swift released her latest album Folklore, which includes the song “Cardigan.” Swift’s merchandise includes a cream cable-knit cardigan, which her fans are buying in droves. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage and contemporary cardigans from top sellers worldwide.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Wingback chairs emerged during the 17th-century era. The wings on classic wingback chairs certainly do have a purpose, or did, when they were first conceived in England in the 1600s. Back then, the armchair protrusions were meant to protect the sitter from drafts and from the strong heat radiating from the large fireplaces that were popular at the time. This explanation is why the wingback is strongly associated with cozying up by the fireplace. Although the functional aspect of a wingback may be obsolete in the 21st century, the chairs have maintained their popularity over the years. Shop a selection of wingback chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What era rattan furniture is from varies. Furniture produced out of woven rattan was popular during the Victorian era as well as the 1970s.

- What era are barrel chairs from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The earliest barrel chairs are from is the era of the early 19th century.

On 1stDibs, find a collection of barrel chairs.
- What era are beaded purses from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Beaded purses are from a number of eras. However, they first came into popularity during the late Victorian era at the end of the 19th century. Flappers of the 1920s also frequently carried beaded handbags. Shop a collection of antique and vintage beaded bags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Windsor furniture originated in the early 1700s in the English town of Windsor. The bentwood back frames of Windsor chairs are assembled with slender wooden spindles that are plugged into drill holes in the sculpted seat, which was usually made of elm and slightly sunken or dish-shaped for the sitter’s comfort. According to legend, the Windsor gained popularity after King George III took shelter in a cottage and was invited to sit on one. He was so charmed by the humble design that he had copies made for Windsor Castle. With the arrival of the 1730s, Windsor chairs made their way to the American colonies. A handful of Windsor chairs are said to have appeared in Philadelphia by the late 1720s. Find a variety of Windsor furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To know what era your furniture is, study every part of the piece. Take note of joint construction, materials and decorative elements.

- What era are iron beds from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The earliest iron beds trace back to 17th-century Italy, where infestations of bed bugs and moths led crafters to produce handmade metal furniture for bedrooms. In the late 1800s, the beds came into fashion again because many people thought they were simpler to clean. You'll find a variety of antique iron beds on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Secretary desks originated in the early 18th century. They were typically used by secretaries and clerks and featured plenty of compacted drawers for stationary storage. On 1stDibs, find a collection of secretary desks from some of the world’s top sellers.
- What era are tea dresses from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Tea dresses are primarily from the Victorian era. By the 1880s, they were a popular fashion trend in England and the U.S., and they remained in style through the first two decades of the 20th century. Shop a range of vintage tea dresses on 1stDibs.
- What era is cameo jewelry from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Cameo jewelry is usually associated with the Victorian era. However, the jewelry style dates back to ancient times when the Romans wore jewelry that showed faces in bas-relief. During the 19th-century, cameo jewelry saw another surge in popularity due to renewed interest in classical art and architecture. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of cameo jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023The mid- to late 1980s and early 1990s were a particularly strong era for bamboo earrings, which is a name frequently given to big, bold hoop earrings (they're also called "door knockers"). While Black female recording artists such as Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte and Roxanne Shante popularized the trend during those years by donning hoops in music videos and on the red carpet, artist-activists Nina Simone and Angela Davis wore hoops decades earlier. In the Black and Latino communities, hoop earrings have long been associated with strength. Their symbolism as indicators of identity stretches back thousands of years, including to ancient Nubia. On view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Ancient Near Eastern Art gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to 2,600-2,500 B.C. that experts agree is among the oldest known examples. Shop a range of hoop earrings from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The era that a chaise longue is from goes back at least as far as the 1500s. A chaise lounge is an upholstered piece of furniture that was made popular in France in the early 16th century. This low reclining seat — a “long chair” in English — boasts an elongated form and low back that extends about half the length of the furnishing, affording the welcome opportunity for a sitter to put their feet up and relax. A comfortable common ground between sofas and daybeds, early iterations of chaise longues were discovered in Ancient Egypt and were later frequently used in both Greece and Rome. Shop a variety of chaise lounges on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Balloon back chairs are from the Victorian era, which lasted from the late 1830s to the turn of the 20th century. These chairs get their name from their rounded backrests and narrow waists, which make it seem like their tops have ballooned or grown in size. On 1stDibs, shop a range of balloon back chairs.
