New variation, including a hundred old pieces (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

victoriana

'old pieces' is the definition.
(items from the Victorian era)

'new variation including a hundred' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'including' indicates putting letters inside.
'a hundred' becomes 'C' (Roman numeral).
'variation' anagrammed gives 'vitoriana'.
'vitoriana' going around 'c' is 'VICTORIANA'.

(Another definition for victoriana that I've seen is " 1837-1901 bric-a-brac".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
