Queen Anne double dome secretary cabinets are an elegant and distinctive type of furniture associated with the Queen Anne period, which spans the early 18th century, particularly from around 1702 to 1714, and extends into the early Georgian period in England.
Key Features of Queen Anne Furniture:
- Curved Lines: Queen Anne furniture is known for its graceful, curved lines and shapes. The double dome or bonnet top is a characteristic feature of this style.
- Cabriole Legs: These S-shaped legs with pad or club feet are iconic in Queen Anne design.
- Simplified Ornamentation: Compared to the elaborate Rococo style, Queen Anne furniture is more restrained and elegant, focusing on the beauty of the wood and subtle decorative details.
- Walnut Wood: Walnut was the favored wood during this period, appreciated for its rich color and fine grain.
Characteristics of Queen Anne Double Dome Secretary Cabinets:
- Double Dome Top: The hallmark of this type of secretary is its double dome or bonnet top, which adds a sense of grandeur and elegance.
- Fall-Front Desk: The lower portion typically features a fall-front desk, revealing compartments and small drawers for storage and writing.
- Upper Cabinet: The upper section often includes glass doors with muntin bars or wooden doors that open to reveal shelves for displaying books or fine china.
- Ornamental Veneer: While the overall decoration is more restrained, you might still find beautiful veneer work and inlays, often highlighting the natural beauty of the wood.
Historical Context:
- Queen Anne Period: This period is named after Queen Anne of Great Britain, who reigned from 1702 to 1714. The style continued to influence furniture design into the early Georgian era.
- English Influence: While the Queen Anne style originated in England, it also became popular in the American colonies, where it adapted to local tastes and materials.
Conclusion:
A Queen Anne double dome secretary cabinet is a fine example of early 18th-century furniture design, combining elegance with functionality. Its distinctive double dome top and graceful lines make it a prized piece for collectors and those appreciating antique furniture craftsmanship.
