Description:
This is a fine quality small English Queen Anne style wardrobe constructed with burr and figured walnut timbers, comprising two doors, with hanging space and shelves and two drawers below, circa 1935, in excellent original condition. The top of the tallboy comprises fine burr walnut, finished with a moulded edge, below two large doors also constructed with burr walnut, which are decorated with classic arched Queen Anne style double-dome panels, in figured walnut cross-banding and cock-beading. The doors retain the original cast metal decorative handles and the doors open to reveal a telescopic hanging rail on the left-hand side and five fitted shelves on the right-hand side. The left-hand door retains its original metal sliding locking bolt. Below are two functional large drawers, also decorated with burr walnut and the original handles. Interestingly, the handles are stamped “C&A” with a registration number, but we are not sure what this abbreviation refers to. The drawers are constructed with dovetail joints with mahogany drawer linings. The Queen Anne style wardrobe stands on its original cabriole feet and retains its original backboards. This is a single piece wardrobe. Due to its narrow width, it is ideal for compact rooms, as it consumes very little space. This Queen Anne style wardrobe, would be at home in any traditional or contemporary setting and consumes very little space.
This walnut tallboy boasts classic Queen Anne styling in the overall design of the curved moulded frame, corners and double-domed door panels. It displays a rich walnut colour and patination; having been cleaned and professionally French polished by hand.
History of Queen Anne Furniture:
The Queen Anne style of furniture design developed before, during, and after the time of Queen Anne, who reigned from 1702 to 1714. Queen Anne furniture is somewhat smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than its predecessors, and examples in common use include curving shapes, the cabriole leg, cushioned seats, wing-back chairs, and practical secretary desk-bookcase pieces. Other elements characterizing the style include pad feet and "an emphasis on line and form rather than ornament. This style of furniture was later replicated in the early 20th century, where there was a fashionable revival and a lot of furniture reflected this period.
