It's always entertaining to read the words of artists who fundamentally misunderstand their own works.
The revival of the Arts and Crafts movement, and the Pre-Raphaelites was really very late. Andrew Lloyd Webber was able to put together his major Victorian art collection because it was massively unfashionable until the 1960s and much later, and even so things like William Morris came back earlier than others. I haven't read Brideshead for a long time, so I don't remember the detail of the chapter, but whatever its precise type it would have been hugely unpopular when the novel was publshed.
