Eclectic Art Decoration in Victorian Australian Interiors

This lecture looks at significant examples of interior decorative work in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide by art decorators, emphasising their perceived role in advancing the progress of culture, society and civilisation.

Paterson Brothers was at the forefront of the decorating business in Melbourne and Victoria in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, bringing art and decoration together. Most of their domestic work has been obliterated or the residences demolished, Villa Alba in Kew being the mostly extant, remaining example.
