Art nouveau! Also kind of overdone on comic covers! But 80% of that is just Strangers in Paradise, soooo...
I kind of want the one Hindenburg ashtray (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/archive/200605A20.html) they had on, but mostly because it's hilarious and I could sell it to the steampunks.
(That's the one I was on, but the wrong hour! I still haven't managed to see myself!)
I actually have a crap-ton of actual Victorian Stuff... it's less thrilling when you're surrounded by it. I also must annoy preservationists, because being surrounded by antiques, my choices are 1. to carefully preserve and not use it and basically throw it away or 2. use it and risk damage. But you know what? MUSEUMS DON'T ACTUALLY WANT EVERY OLD THING FROM THE PAST! I WORKED IN THEM! Oh ho ho ho... what were we talking about?
