Early Victorian describes the first decades of Queen Victoria\'s reign, from 1837 to around 1860. Furniture and decorative arts from this period reflect the transition from Regency elegance to the richer, more elaborate ornamentation associated with the High Victorian era. Mahogany and rosewood dominated cabinet making, while Gothic Revival, Rococo Revival and Renaissance Revival styles gained popularity. *Related Terms*\ High Victorian, Gothic Revival, Victorian Furniture, Victorian Lighting, Rococo Revival.
