The wig era, a period of extravagance and elegance in the eighteenth century, is characterized by its lavish fashion and extravagant lifestyle. Both men and women flaunted ostentatious wigs, clothing adorned with lace, gold, and bows, and shoes with high heels. Women's fashion included elaborate hairstyles, slim upper bodies with deep décolletage, and crinoline hoop skirts.

The term "wig era" was introduced by the Dutch critic Conrad Busken Huet and soon came to represent a time of cultural and economic stagnation, living on the legacy of previous generations.

In England, the wig era is synonymous with the Georgian Era, the period during which four kings of the House of Hanover ruled over the Kingdom of Great Britain and the United Kingdom.

Bring a touch of historical splendour to your interior with this Victorian tin, a timeless piece that not only adds a decorative element but also tells a story of a bygone era of grace and beauty.
