What is Victorian Styled Furniture?

…..and how is it different than Queen Anne? Victorian style furniture was named for Queen Victoria of England and was developed 1840-1910. The Victorian style draws its influence from gothic forms with heavy proportions, dark finish, elaborate carving and ornamentation.

Queen Anne Furniture was named after Queen Anne of England who reigned from 1702-1714. This styling is a refinement of the early Dutch and Chinese influences and is characterized with a moderately proportioned, graceful appearance. It has cabriole legs terminating in a pad or drake foot, fiddle-back chair back and bat wing shaped drawer pulls.
