Antique Victorian Chest of Drawers with no Keys. Can I get some made somehow?

Question by CatherineNickName: Antique Victorian Chest of Drawers with no Keys. Can I get some made somehow?
I have an antique Victorian Chest of Drawers with no Keys.
The beautiful ornate locks are there, and I want to keep them, they use an old fashioned key.

Is there a solution out there to get some an old skelton type key made that I can use the locks on the drawer?

Best answer:

Answer by Lisa
Couple suggetions…

Contact various antique dealers in your area to see if they have a “ring of keys” that many of them have laying around the shop. Possibly they are familiar with your type of chest and have one available.

Locksmith services may be required…also with their magic “ring of keys” to try.

Good luck.

Victorian Decor – Selecting the Perfect Table

One of the common places people bring Victorian décor into their home is in the dining room. After all, who can’t envision a beautiful Victorian dining room chock full of amazing furniture and accents?

So, as you begin shopping the first thing you need to think about is the table you are going to choose which will be the centerpiece of the room. Here are some of the main features you need to be looking for in a Victorian table.

Curves

One of the things everyone loves about Victorian furniture is that it is chock full of sexy curves. Perhaps this is because this is a very feminine furniture style the creators decided on a lot of curves. Whatever the reason, classic Victorian tables are chock full of beautiful curves to accent all the lines of the piece. This could be in the form of curved legs that hold the table up to curved edges and even curved accents to really soften the overall impact of the table.

Flourishes

Another thing that makes a Victorian table stand out from other table types is the fact that the furniture piece is decorated with a number of flourishes. Keep in mind, Victorian furniture was named after Queen Victoria. So it should be no surprise that these pieces of furniture are very fancily decorated with sweeping flourishes and accents. When you are making furniture that is meant to pay homage to a queen you want to make sure it is as beautiful and decorative as you can to do that queen justice. No little extra or accent is too much for a Victorian dining table. Chances are you have seen many a Victorian table that has a display of beautiful roses carved right into the wood.

Ornate

In addition to the fancy look just of the base table material, a Victorian table may go well beyond this with ornate details. We are no longer talking about the carving of this type of table, but now we are talking the decorations like paint. Often many people think of stunning white furniture when it comes to Victorian décor. This is often the case and you may well find pieces that are striking in white. But then there are some that really appreciate the royal bloodline they come from and are accented with extra ornate details like gold gilding. Others have crystals, gems and other accents hand added to really take them to the next level.

When you begin shopping for a Victorian table for your dining room, take your time and really get to know what is out there. This table is going to be the centerpiece of this space and you want to make sure you choose carefully before you pick the one that you are going to design the rest of the room around. Once you find the right table, it will speak to you, and you’ll know this is the starting point you need for your new dining space.

Author Jennifer Akre is an owner of a wide variety of online specialty shops including that offer both items and information on how you can easily furnish and decorate your space. Whether it is tables for your living room or dining tables for you newly remodeled home, there are many tips you can use to make any spot both functional and beautiful.
