Chest on Frame New England circa 1740-1760

This early Queen Anne style chest replica could be classified a transitional chest on frame. Transitional furniture is the mix of elements from the end of an earlier style with the new elements of an introduced style. During the William and Mary period there would have been six turned legs. In this miniature chest on frame the four beautifully executed cabriolet legs show the delicacy of the Queen Anne era. The shape of the middle of the skirt during the William and Mary period usually was a single plain arch.
