English Period Furniture
Queen Anne 1702 -1714
The gracious and comfortable furniture from the Dutch influence continued and the English craftsman were developing their own skills.
They had learned the foreign techniques and started to create a distinct English style. As the room sizes were now much smaller the pieces of furniture were less massive than those of previous centuries and the comfort was provided for in the chairs.
The chair is the single item that most typifies any one period and there is no exception with this period. The Queen Anne Chair is very well known and still popular today.
