Eclectic style interior design, one that borrows from many styles and incorporates it into one look, has its roots in Victorian Era design.
The Victorian had a love of the exotic and often applied those exotic elements from their travels to their homes. The rarest of the rare are onion domes. While widely seen in Easter Europe and Russia and parts of the "Ottoman Empire". The Onion Dome essentially has the look of an onion bulb. There were many variants of this design but they all had one thing in common. They were hard to build. Often requiring the services of a boatbuilder who understood the complex curved framing to build one. They were often prone to leak as well after a period of time. many were simply 'lopped off' and today they are an even rarer site. Perhaps the best known is the Morey Mansion located in Redlands California. It was built in 1890 for the then extravegant sum of 20,000.00. It is well known for its elaborate onion dome. Another one of these rare birds can be seen in Minneapolis Minnesota. The Bardwell House didnt start out like this but was the result of a later remodel when the two onion dome structures were added along with other "moorish' detail., this redesign was done by Norwegian born architect Carl Struck . It was added to the national register in 1984. Interestingly commercial buildings were treated to these exotic treatments as well. The fire house in Aurora, Illinois had this delightful onion dome on it. During WW2 it was lopped off as part of a metal drive. This building was seriously deteriorated before local residents took up the cause and restored it back (Including the onion dome) and today it is a firehouse museum.

Article: Aesthetic Era Anew by Nancy A. Ruhling on Incollect.
A stylist and obsessive collector of Victoriana reimagines his 19th-century farmhouse in a Hudson River town.
Huge technological advances during the Victorian era also bore a notable influence on the styles and motifs celebrated in jewelry design, the techniques used to cut stones, and made new and more exotic gemstones and materials possible. Hence, the Victorian period was and remains one of the most exciting times in the history of jewelry design and making. One of the most beloved color-ways in Georgian and Victorian jewelry was the harsh bite of turquoise, alongside the sultry simmer of a rich garnet cabochon. This ring is such a lovely example, dated 1968, in the Victorian style. Materials & Features: 9k gold, garnet, turquoise Age/Origin: Victorian Revival, c. 1968 Measurements: Size 7.75, 2.8 grams Marks: Hallmarked for 1968 Condition: Minor age wear. Excellent overall condition! Please view and inspect any photos closely. We endeavor to fully disclose all condition information clearly and concisely, however, please note that what qualifies as excellent condition for historical jewelry differs from modern and contemporary pieces; please take the age of the piece into account when examining the piece. Minor age wear is typical and to be expected for antique and vintage jewelry. Unless otherwise stated, gemstones have not been officially graded for color, clarity, or treatment by GIA; any information provided is our own educated, professional assessment.
