Victorian Interior Design

Notes on the Museum

The Sutliff Museum has bee inside the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library since 1971. All the furniture pieces date back to the Victorian time period (1837-1901), with the exception of the dark wood cabinet in the center of the Museum. These are reproductions of "Grandfather's bookcase", located in the temporary exhibit area.


The wallpaper was selected from a Victorian pattern book and the carpet was woven in Spain by a British company. The room reproduces a Victorian design but the colors were chosen to appeal to 1970s taste.
