can anyone comment on the level of affluence that would have been needed in victorian times to meet the standard of living depicted?

  It's a bit of a weird one, because anyone in the Victorian era who could afford that much stuff could also afford servants.

    Reportedly, in Agatha Christie’s autobiography, she mentioned how "she never thought she would ever be wealthy enough to own a car - nor so poor that she wouldn’t have servants". Worth a thought.

      The cost for living is dramatically higher than it was before.
