Queen Anne style
Ornate eighteenth-century architecture
Queen Anne style refers to an architectural and furniture design tradition from the early 18th century, named for the British monarch who reigned 1702–1714.
In furniture, it features curved lines, cabriole legs, and restrained ornamentation: a Queen Anne chair.
In American architecture, the term was applied more loosely to elaborate Victorian houses with asymmetrical facades, wraparound porches, and decorative woodwork—a style that flourished in the 1880s and 1890s despite having little connection to the original period: a Queen Anne Victorian in San Francisco.
