The fine craft traditions associated with some of these arts never entirely died out in Florence, and remained well-established up to the 19th century. Florence's craft guilds were a crucial force behind the survival of these trades. In an effort to boost Florence's economy, and promote its crafts to tourists, a museum of decorative arts opened in the Bargello in 1865. This, in combination with Florence's reputation in fine arts, led to rapid growth in the demand for craft products among tourists, particularly from England. Victorian tourists found many craft shops listed in the back of guide books, such as John Murray's Florence and its Environs. Florentine style crafts have an ornate appearance, and are typically gold gilded. Decoupage usually includes reproductions of well-known Classical Florentine art works, which may or may not be religious in nature. Although the reproductions are in many cases a derivative style imitating fine art and fine objects made of rare materials, Florentine crafts aimed at tourists were fashionable, and termed bon gusto, or fine taste, "pure Italian" or "pure Renaissance style". Florentine hand carved gold-gilt frames in particular became popular during the late Victorian era; references to such ornate frames appear in period literature, such as Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. Florentine-style crafts remain collectable today. Florentine frames and plaques, and reproduction Florentine furniture, are associated with the Shabby chic style of interior decorating in particular in recent years. Our reference: A4578
