This is a picture of a wardrobe by craftsman Robert Prenzel from Australia around the late 1800s. I find it very interesting particularly since it's a beautifully crafted piece of furniture made in Australia. The arts and crafts movement that originated in ENgland around the mid 1800s influence spread all the way down to the Australian colonies. Currently this wardrobe is held in the National Gallery of Victoria.
The floral design on the doors shows victorian style as well as the decorative elements at the top of the wardrobe. Very elegant and interesting Victorian style in Australia and National Gallery of Victoria.
ReplyDeleteYea I agree with Laura, in that the floral design shows Victorian style. Nice choice on the picture because it is nice to see something else besides just an image!
