Queen Anne furniture still stylish 2 centuries later
NEW YORK – The Queen Anne style of furniture, decorative arts and architecture – characterized by limited and restrained decoration – was evolving during the reign of England’s Queen Anne (1702-1718), although the actual name “Queen Anne” was first applied to the style more than a century after it was fashionable. It really began to take shape during the reign of William III (1689-1702), but the term mainly describes decorative styles dating from the mid-1720s to about 1760.
