Honestly, the "Victorian" desk chair looks more like a modern "in the style of" design which could work well for Minako, but doesn't work at the Lake Wobegon residence if it's supposed to be actually Victorian. The problem is the pentagonal base. AFAIK, office chairs like that are a recent development. My mom's desk chair, which I'm fairly certain is post-Victorian, has been around since at least the 60's and it has a square base.
As a double-check, I did a search on "Victorian desk chairs." I found a site that sells actual antique furniture and the listings show exactly one chair with a pentagonal base. All the rest have either triangular or square bases. TBH, I'm not sure that one chair with a pentagonal base is actually a period chair although the listing calls it a "19th-Century Swivel Chair."
That's ignoring the issue of cost. Even a prosperous farmer might have a problem affording the latest in stylish furniture and have to settle for something simpler that's still functional. That applies to the rest of the Victorian furniture., too. Now if you can find some braided rug designs, those would be perfect floor decorations for Lake Wobegone. Back in the day, braided rugs were a way to get every last bit of use out of old fabric, unlike today where they're often bought in stores.
