A Windsor variant of the Queen Anne chair is which style?

• A. Queen Anne Windsor
• B. English Queen Anne
• C. American Queen Anne
• D. Thomas Chippendale

Answer: (A)

When naming furniture, designers often pair a construction type with a decorative style to describe a specific hybrid. Queen Anne describes the flowing, curved lines and cabriole legs, while Windsor refers to a construction with a solid seat and a back made of turned spindles. A Windsor chair made in the Queen Anne style naturally becomes a Queen Anne Windsor, because the name signals both the Windsor construction and the Queen Anne styling cues. The other options point to general Queen Anne styles or other schools and don’t specifically indicate the Windsor construction paired with Queen Anne form.
