Queen Anne Center Tables

QUEEN ANNE STYLE

Although named for the last Stuart monarch of England, antique Queen Anne furniture, with its curvy cabriole legs and pad feet, has its origins in the earlier reign of King William III, which began in 1689 and ended with his death in 1702. Later evolving during Anne’s rule from 1702–14, the style would continue to influence design in the decades after her death.

Sometimes called late Baroque or early Georgian, Queen Anne chairs, bedroom furniture and tables are subdued yet ornate and characterized by a graceful blend of influences ranging from Asian design to classical motifs. Furnishings of this era — with their curvilinear supports and novel emphasis on comfort and versatility — are marked by a shift away from the more opulent and angular William and Mary style.

Chairs designed in the Queen Anne style are more functional and lightweight than their predecessors. They often feature a vase or fiddle-shaped splat, which refers to the central vertical back element, in order to support the spine and plush cushions. Craftsmen of the era predominantly worked in walnut, maple and pine. Any embellishments they introduced in their furnishings were frequently minimal and refined and expressed by way of modest flourishes such as shells or scrolls. Some pieces were more lavish with “japanned” finishes, or varnished interpretations of East Asian lacquer art. Almost every piece of furniture, whether a tea table or desk, included S-shaped, animalistic cabriole legs that end in a paw or claw-and-ball form.

These qualities made Queen Anne furniture popular throughout Europe and North America. Boston and Philadelphia became hubs for the production of this style of furniture, spurred by the arrival of British artisans who fostered a market for well-heeled colonists. While the showier Chippendale style later surpassed it in popularity, Queen Anne’s simple elegance still draws an enduring appreciation.

Vintage Henkel Harris Jefferson Cherry Octogon Flip Top Pedestal Center Side Tab
Vintage Henkel Harris Jefferson Cherry Octogon Flip Top Pedestal Center Side Tab

Vintage Henkel Harris Jefferson Cherry Octogon Flip Top Pedestal Center Side Tab

By Henkel Harris

Located in Dayton, OH

Vintage Henkel Harris Jefferson Queen Anne pedestal side, accent or center table. Made of Wild Black Cherry featuring octagonal form with two incognito flip top storage compartments and tripod base with pad feet. The Henkel-Harris legacy started from humble beginnings. After serving in the Second World War, Carroll Henkel and his wife, Mary made the decision to enter into the furniture business. Knowing very little about the craft, the Henkels decided to begin this business venture with their friend, John Harris. In 1946, The Henkels rented their first building and began making furniture. Since they were so inexperienced, they spent countless hours studying woodwork and learning all that they could about the craft. Mary and Carroll would spend hours viewing antique furniture and attempting to recreate the same type of woodwork and quality that these pieces possessed. While trying to gain a foothold, the Henkels also began working as furniture repairmen. This opportunity allowed them to perfect their finishing techniques and gave them a greater understanding of the antique furniture that they regarded so highly. The experience gained from this endeavor led to the creation of the acclaimed Henkel Harris finish, which is still regarded for its high clarity, durability, and overall quality. After many years of hard work, the Henkels employed five other workers and were slowly gaining the reputation for offering some of the most quality furniture available. In 1956, John Harris left the company to pursue other business ventures, leaving Mary and Carroll to manage the company themselves. Because of limited capital, marketing campaigns were all word-of-mouth and depended on the satisfaction of the few customers that they had and by networking themselves through making visits to dealers all over Virginia. After Harris left the company, Carroll was left to travel the country and attempt to sell furniture out of the back of his vehicle, while Mary took charge of the plant in Winchester during his absence. The manufacturing department was in need of growth, however, and the current plant was not big enough to fit the Henkel's needs. So in the early 1960s, the Henkels began production of their own plant in Winchester, Virginia. By 1963, only a few days prior to Christmas, the Henkels moved into their newly completed factory. In 1969, Carroll passed away suddenly, leaving Mary to run the company by herself. A woman managing a successful business in a totally male dominated industry was incredibly uncommon and posed a great challenge to Mary. Despite the adversity, Mary grew the company to 90 employees very quickly after the death of her husband. She also began traveling around the world, specifically to Europe. She used these trips as an opportunity to view European antique furniture so that she could innovate new Henkel Harris furniture based on the European design. A prolific advocate of education, Mary also offered to pay tuition for her workers wishing take night classes. After paying...
