It would be way cool to see something like this in the Arts and Crafts style. Probably wouldn't have the same vibe though, since so much of steam punk is based on gadgety looking gears, metal trinkets and other decorative doodads. Could surely throw in some stained glass, ironwork, etc. to add color and texture. I agree, Josh. It would be way cool to see something like this in the Arts and Crafts style.

Although the Victorian look shown in the pieces above is classic steampunk, I see no reason why an Arts and Crafts or Art Noveau style wouldn't be equally effective for the purposes of illusion and aesthetics, even if it falls outside the constraints of the subculture's alternative future past.
