<< <i>Queen Anne Walnut spice cabinet cira 1740 >>
Queen Anne died in 1714. Wouldn't the correct term be Georgian, after George II, the reigning monarch of the period?
Maybe not... for all I know, the "Queen Anne" label hung on and gets attached to later items, sort of like a 1905 house being called "Victorian" when it's really Edwardian(?) >>
Yes, it became popular in England while she was still alive, but not here until about 1725, where it continued to be popular through the mid 18th century.
doesn't the use of the term "Queen Anne" when applied to furniture just relate to the style and not the period or monarch on the throne when it's made?? the same with architecture, you can build a Victorian home today because it's a style, not anything relating to who sits on the throne when it's built.
It looks really nice! The only thing I would have done differently is to grain match the drawer fronts (cut each row from a single piece so they match) and a visible box joint for the drawers.

I should have specified that (roughly) 1720 to 1750 is considered the Queen Anne period for furniture (in America). So, the Queen Anne furniture made today is of the style, but not from the period. Tom can correct me if I'm wrong (because I'm not much of an antique furniture expert).

If you build it to the standards used during the ERA- it is the style. If you have the material FROM that ERA and duplicate the building process- without the modern day convienence' then it is replicated to authenticity- but of modern day. Who in the hell has wood lying around in a garage that is 300+ yrs old?
If you do- can I come by (when I can drive again) and pick upa few lineal feet? I have a project to make for 'mom'.
Maybe I can find a 500 yr ol tree and chop it down..........

Wouldn't mind a modified cabinet like that myself.
Happy birthday too.
