Queen Anne Style Blanket Chest

The Queen Anne style of furniture and blanket chests emerged in England during the reign Queen Anne (1702-1714). Furniture and blanket chests in this style show absolute preference for simplicity. The beauty of line was extremely more important to the wood artisan than was heavy ornamentation. This was in marked contrast to the fashionable furniture that had been created since the Restoration in Europe. Styles such as the Baroque style and the Louis XIV style were too lavish in embellishment and carved design elements.
