There were a variety of eras that would stylize their furnishings to suit the period.

Gaslight comes to our mind when you mention brass and Victorian age group. Styles ranged as the times changed and anything from mythological characters, to candle shaped designs topped by porcelain or glass fixtures would be a well-known look. This was definitely an appealing style that many individuals appreciate.
Another appealing class was Art Nouveau that ran from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. The designs were amazingly varied and quite often risky for the era, using concepts from nature like leaves, sea creatures, animals and sometimes even nudes which became an addictive design.

Anyone know how to antique brass by hand?
Like brass wire or pendants, so that they look tarnished and old? And so that they permanently stay that way.
Since you want it permanent, I recommend some sort of electroplating process--these are tricky, and not for the faint of heart. However, you can achieve a slight change in color using liver of sulfur. Typically used to create a dark brown to black color on copper, and a range of colors on silver (as well as black), it usually turns bronze (and presumably brass) a slightly darker golden color. Nothing drastic, but it does age the piece. however, even with the use of fixatives, it will eventually wear off and need to be reapplied. You can buy a half pound can at www.contenti.com for about $13. Throw a smallish piece in with enough warm water to cover your piece, and dunk it on in there. Not permanent, but cheaper and easier than electroplating.
