Victorian (Queen Anne, Eastlake) cabinet doors & fronts
Layered, ornament-rich interiors: overmantels, spindlework, incised Eastlake geometry, dark stained hardwoods and elaborate trim.
Many Victorian details translate well to modern production because they are built from repeated profiles and flat-carved ornament. A mantel, a built-in buffet or a set of carved cabinet fronts can bring the period into a house without recreating a whole room.
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts carry most of a style's identity, from the Shaker flat panel to Victorian carved panels and mid-century slab fronts. New fronts can also transform existing cabinets.
