Victorian
Period in English furniture during the reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901. Consists of a resurrection of many previous periods and revival imitations including: Gothic, Tudor, Elizabethan, Rococo, and Neoclassic style. This period had a focus on dark woods, heavy fabrics, embellishment, engagement with newly developed imitation materials that were facilitated by the Industrial Revolution, and a tendency towards eclecticism.
Sconce
A wall-mounted bracket light, typically with an upward-facing arm that holds, in antique sconces, an oil lamp or candle, or in modern examples, an electrified light. Antique sconces were used often in corridors or in pairs on both sides of an entryway. They featured a reflective backplate to intensify candlelight while keeping the candle a safe distance from the wall. They are commonly made of metals such as silver, bronze, or ormolu and became very decorative in the 18th Century.
Sterling
Sterling is a term used in connection with silverware. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver with a 7.5% additive, usually copper. Unlike pure silver which is 99.9% silver, the addition of copper makes sterling silver more durable and less soft than its pure silver counterpart. Although sterling silver is stronger than pure silver, the additional metals found in sterling silver make sterling silver more prone to tarnishing.
