The Victorian 1868
An Eclectic Shop & Artist Studio in Palmer, MA
"Swanky olde furniture, decorative paints & an artsy good time!"
Travel back in time at the Victorian
All of the rooms are individually decorated with subtle and dramatic uses of color, rich fabrics, vintage laces, various pieces of the owners art collection, books for viewing & period furnishings throughout.
Built in 1868 by Ebenezer & Mary Brown, this home is full of intricate mill work and door hardware, stained glass windows, high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and original chandeliers!
The Victorian is meant to be more than a shop and studio. It’s a place where you can leisurely stroll through the halls and rooms at a slowed pace, take a seat in any chair or sofa and just relax a bit. Have a cup of coffee or tea and admire your surroundings. Enjoy the colors, the art, the books, the sounds, the scents…escape for a while.
Chatting with the owners John & Julia about projects your working on or thinking of working on are always welcome!
