Ideas for designing a victorian bathroom?

I have a victorian house that did not have indoor plumbing when it was built. One of the bedrooms was converted to a bathroom. It is HUGE and has a clawfoot tub and pedestal sink. There is a large area of wasted space right in the middle of the room. There is plenty of room for furnishings, cabinets for storage, vanity tables, etc. There is also a crystal chandalier in the middle of the ceiling which I am keeping! Any ideas for what type of furnishings to add to keep it authentic? Antiques to look for? Ways to make it functional? Thanks!

Here are some pictures:

Try to find a victorian desk and chair for your make-up center:

A chaise in front of the desk and under the chandelier:

You might even find an old chest of drawers or china cabinet to place on a wall for linen and to display old perfume bottles.
