Queen Anne Candlestand
Not Attributed
With the rise of colonial prosperity and the influx of skilled British craftsman to the United States in the 1720s and 30s, the “Queen Anne Style” gained significant popularity. Though the furniture is often characterized by its organic curved lines, c-scrolls and s-scrolls and cabriole legs, it appears more lightweight and delicate than its baroque-style predecessors. Simple tea tables and candlestands were often made in walnut, cherry, poplar and maple. Because they were so small and lightweight, they could be moved within the home to be used in a myriad of ways.
