English: Victorian Filigree is a term used to describe an architectural style popular in Australia between c.1840–c.1900. The primary feature of the style was the verandah, which stood proud of the building and created a filigree screen which dominated the facade. The filigree screen was most frequently made from cast iron, and sometimes included other materials such timber, wrought iron, or glass.^[1] The Victorian Filigree style is closely linked to the Federation Filigree style, which was a evolution of the style that occurred between c.1890–c.1915.^[2]
