[quote=Anonymous]LOL @ Ikea poster.  I love Ikea, but it is the opposite of Victorian, at least the elaborately detailed stuff that is typical high Victorian style furniture.  I think you would be better off buying actual Victorian antiques rather than recently manufactured Victorian-style furniture.  If you want a classic, but less fussy look, you can get reproduction mission style furniture (I think Hardwood Artisans has some stuff in this style--tables and desks).  First, I don't know of anywhere that sells reproduction Victorian furniture because it's out of style.    Secondly, antiques tend to have better craftmanship than contemporary furniture.   Check out antique dealers and malls around here.  If you want upholstered antiques, you may have to get things reupholstered, not be picky about fabric, or work with an antique dealer to find furniture in a fugly state (think bare wood frames or stuffing falling out) that can be bought cheaply and then reupholstered.  I'm curious--can you post links of anything you've found online that you've liked?[/quote]
