We are proud to present a preview of our forthcoming Illustrated Victorian Elements Catalogue - Edition 2011 - which includes a partial listing of our extensive inventory of Rare Historic Treasures. We have categorized these Treasures into 10 Groups, starting with our Rare Historic Building Construction Materials and ending with our Fine Victorian Houseware Furnishings.
Our diversified Treasure Trove of Victorian Elements is summarized on our Victorian Elements web page and indicated in the Table of Contents on this web page.
The Illustrations presented within our Catalogue include a combination of recent color photographs, and Victorian artistic illustrations derived from high quality wood engravings.
Starting in the 1970s, David Michael, founder of Victorian Elements, had a vision, the ambition, and a purpose, to purchase and to salvage the Rare Historic Treasures which are included in our Victorian Elements Inventory.
Over the Past 3 Decades, we have incorporated a selection of our Victorian Elements Inventory for the construction, renovation, outfitting, and use in the decorating of our various Historic Properties.
Now, after amassing an extensive Inventory, from world-wide sources, our Victorian Elements Shoppes, combined with our Catalogue will display and will illustrate a portion of our Rare Treasures. This will enable others to purchase our Rare Treasures from one source, in one convenient, easily accessible area.
We hope that you will enjoy our Catalogue and as a result of it, you will be able to obtain Historic Treasures to fulfill your requirements. Our complete color Catalogue - Edition 2011 - will be available for sale.
We are looking forward to conducting business with you. Thank you in advance. Happy Hunting!
