Room 125c: Influences from Beyond Europe
In Victorian Britain, retailers sold a growing range of goods imported from Asia and the Islamic world. These countries provided new sources of inspiration for designers seeking to break away from the historic European styles that dominated British design during the 19th century. Also on display here are advertising posters from the 19th century and information on new training available for designers.
Room 125c is on Level 4 of the V&A South Kensington.
