The Queen Anne style is one of the most popular furniture styles, recognized by its exclusive cabriole leg and sparsely carved fan motif on splat-back chairs, highboys, and tea tables. Woods are typically walnut and cherry (cherry is more popular on American versions) and brass hardware appearing on drawer fronts in the bail-handle style.
