Queen Anne Style

Japanese: クイーン・アン様式 - クイーンアンようしき
Queen Anne Style
This is an Arts and Crafts style seen during the reign of Queen Anne of England (1702-14). Its characteristics are influenced by the Dutch Baroque style of the previous era of William and Mary, as well as Orientalism, such as lacquered furniture, but it is modest in decoration and aims for simple, practical forms. In furniture, emphasis was placed on classical, light and elegant forms rather than on luxury, and light-coloured walnut was preferred. Cabriole legs, which were modelled after animal legs, were used for the legs of tables and chairs.

Japanese:
イギリスのアン女王の治世(1702‐14)にみられる美術・工芸様式。その特徴は前代のウィリアム・アンド・メアリー時代のオランダ・バロックの特質や,漆塗家具といった東洋趣味を引き継いではいるが,装飾は控え目で,シンプルな使い良い形態を目指している。家具においては,豪華さよりも,古典主義的な軽快で優雅な形を重視し,明るい色のウォルナット材が好まれた。またカブリオール脚と呼ばれる,動物の脚をかたどった脚がテーブルや椅子の脚に用いられた。
