Queen Anne Gravy Boat w/Tray

Queen Anne Collection Queen Anne ruled 1702-1714, an era characterized by the emergence of a new British spirit fifty years after the 1660 Restoration. This was a time when the works of John Locke, Sir Isaac Newton and Jonathan Swift influenced thought and aristocratic taste. It was a period of unprecedented emphasis on domestic luxury and elegance. Pewterers and silversmiths responded to the tastes and demands of the times by creating dinnerware and serveware that are distinctively "Queen Anne". The Wilton Armetale Queen Anne series portrays the stylish mood at the birth of the 18th century England. The soft, pleasing aura of these pieces regains the old English elegance in these reproductions since their introduction in the late 1960s. They fit into any Traditional, Colonial, Transitional, Folk, and Country context.
