As with most things in history, the palette of colors used for Victorian furniture was initially limited due to the lack of techniques and technology available at the time. However, with the discovery of the dying process in chemical processes, the colors used in Victorian furniture started to explode in new directions. From blues and greens of peacocks to violets, magentas and raw pinks – a range of vibrant and bold hues became popular.
To sum up, some of the most popular colors of Victorian furniture were deep green, red and blue, complemented by damask patterns. However, the discovery of dying processes in chemical applications allowed for a range of new, vibrant and bold colors to emerge, giving designers and makers a new range of options for their creations.
