Queen Anne Table
This is a traditional Queen Anne table, although it is not made after another. Made of both traditional and nontraditional materials, the top is lacewood from Australia, while the balance is mahogany. The base was darkened to contrast with and accent the grain and figure of the top. Secondary wood: hard maple. This table features a cabriole leg with knee block, a slipper foot, and an ebony cockbeaded, dovetailed drawer. The legs and feet are shaped by hand, and the curves are pleasing, suggesting motion. The spokeshave gets a workout on these legs.
Note the contrast between this Queen Anne table, and the modern version, shown side by side on the home page. The dimensions are nearly identical, and both have cabriole legs, cockbeaded drawers, and highly figured tops. Each style is equally functional, but quite different in feel. A pair of either makes a wonderful surround for the master bed.
