 Queen Anne style - Freepedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Queen Anne style of British architecture in the 1870s was popularized by George Devey and the better-known Richard Norman Shaw ( 1831 - 1912).
Norman Shaw published a book of architectural sketches as early as 1858, and his evocative pen-and-ink drawings began to appear in trade journals and artistic magazines in the 1870s.
When, in the early 1870s, Chinese-inspired Early Georgian furniture on cabriole legs, featuring smooth expanses of walnut, and chairs with flowing lines and slat backs began to be looked for in out-of-the-way curio shops, the style was misattributed to the reign of Queen Anne, and the "Queen Anne" misnomer has stuck to this day.
