History of Colonial/Queen Anne Style:
The Colonial and Queen Anne styles, which flourished during the early 18th century, are characterized by their graceful and understated elegance. The Queen Anne style was a key influence in colonial American design, especially during the early years of the American colonies. Furniture pieces in this style were defined by their soft, flowing lines, curved backs, and the use of fine woods such as cherry and mahogany. Cabriole legs, as seen in this chair, became a hallmark of the Queen Anne style, offering both beauty and stability.

Wingback chairs—which became particularly popular in the late 17th and early 18th centuries—were originally designed for comfort, offering warmth and protection from drafts. The high back and wings were not only functional but also decorative, becoming a signature feature of Colonial Williamsburg interiors. This Kittinger reproduction captures these classic elements, combining the traditional features of the Queen Anne and Colonial styles into a piece that feels both authentic and contemporary. See less
