  Style
  Late-Victorian - Victorian decorative arts refers to the style of decorative arts during the Victorian era. The Victorian era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historic styles and the introduction of cross-cultural influences from the middle east and Asia in furniture, fittings, and Interior decoration.
  
  Victorian design is widely viewed as having indulged in a regrettable excess of ornament. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau style have their beginnings in the late Victorian era.

  Extra information
  Eagle symbolism - The eagle symbolized strength, courage, farsightedness and immortality. It is considered to be the king of the air and the messenger of the highest Gods. Mythologically, it is connected by the Greeks with the God Zeus, by the Romanswith Jupiter, by the Germanic tribes with Odin and by Christians with God. Read more about the eagle and its symbolism.
  
  Snakes and serpents - Snakes and serpents are one of the oldest and most widespread mythological symbols. Considerable overlap exists in the symbolic values that serpents represent in various cultures. Some such overlap is due to the common historical ancestry of contemporary symbols. Much of the overlap, however, is traceable to the common biologicalcharacteristics of snakes.
  
  A lot can be said about snakes and serpents. They have been worshipped since the Dark Ages and are a powerful religious symbol with many different meanings, like death and resurrection, while they have also been associated with healing and rivergods and also denote fertility, wisdom and the ability to cure.

• A proposito di opere artista

  Può succedere che un artista o un creatore sia sconosciuto.

  Alcune opere non sono determinate da chi sono state realizzate o sono state realizzate da (un gruppo di) artigiani. Esempi sono statue dell'antichità, mobili, specchi o firme non chiare o leggibili ma anche alcune opere non sono affatto firmate.

  Inoltre puoi trovare la seguente descrizione:

  •"Attribuito a …." A loro avviso probabilmente opera dell'artista, almeno in parte

  •“Studio di ….” o “Officina di” A loro avviso un'opera eseguita nello studio o nella bottega dell'artista, eventualmente sotto la sua supervisione

  •“Firmato…”, “Datato…” o “Iscritto” A loro avviso l'opera è stata firmata/datata/inscritta dall'artista. L'aggiunta di un punto interrogativo indica un elemento di dubbio
