Victorian relics
Nineteenth-century British remnants
Victorian relics are objects, customs, or attitudes surviving from the Victorian era—the period of Queen Victoria's reign over Britain (1837–1901).
The phrase often carries dismissive connotations, suggesting something outdated or stubbornly persistent: The building's plumbing is a Victorian relic.
Applied to ideas or social norms, it implies they belong to a bygone age: These attitudes about women in the workplace are Victorian relics.
