Queen Anne style furniture

1702 - 1714

Queen Anne (1665 - 1714) was the last monarch of the House of Stuarts. The Queen Anne style is a refinement of the William and Mary style. The single most important decoration of Queen Anne furniture was the carved cockle or scallop shell. Cabinetmakers replaced the straight, turned legs with more graceful, curving ones . Feet were likely to be the simple pad or Dutch foot, occasionally he drake foot, which was carved with three toes. Walnut became the preferred wood in both England and America, along with cherry and maple. Imported mahogany began to be favoured. Regardless of the wood, a small amount of Queen Anne furniture was painted white. Card and the collapsible bridge table or gaming tables were another Queen Anne innovation
