The Victorians had a keen interest in nature. House plants were a novelty as were fish. A few rare examples of Victorian era fish tanks do exist. The one pictured is a reproduction of a Victorian tank based on illustrations from the era.Other tanks look more like modern rectangular tanks. The cast iron rectangular tanks provide some ideas on how one might decorate a modern tank to make it more fitting to a room's decor. This large image of an antique tank has great detail to work from (click here for that image).

That is so cool! I love that!
How exquisite! I love Victorian furniture and the like (especially the gothic revival items), but the thought of a gorgeous Victorian fish tank had never crossed my mind! It seems so steampunk as if they were ahead of their time or something along those lines. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
