Description
4″ Queen Anne Wooden Furniture Leg
The 4″ Queen Anne Leg is a compact traditionally shaped wooden furniture leg produced from high-quality European Beech hardwood.
Its curved Queen Anne profile provides a more decorative appearance than a plain round or square furniture foot while the shorter 4″ height keeps the furniture relatively close to the floor.
Available in Cream, Mahogany and Raw, it is suitable for new furniture, upholstery projects, restoration work and replacing damaged or missing traditional furniture legs.

4″ Queen Anne Leg Specification
- Nominal height: 4″
- Timber: European Beech hardwood
- Style: traditional Queen Anne
- Available finishes: Cream, Mahogany and Raw
- Suitable for: chairs, sofas, footstools and upholstered furniture
- Use: furniture manufacture, repair, restoration and replacement
The compact height makes the 4″ version particularly useful where the traditional Queen Anne shape is wanted without substantially increasing the height of the furniture.
Compact Queen Anne Legs for Traditional Furniture
The 4″ Queen Anne Leg is the shortest option in the Livedale Queen Anne range.
Its lower profile makes it well suited to:
- Upholstered footstools
- Traditional armchairs
- Sofas and settees
- Occasional chairs
- Small stools
- Furniture restoration
- Replacement furniture legs
- Bespoke upholstery projects
The decorative profile allows the leg to remain a visible feature while maintaining relatively modest ground clearance.
Traditional Queen Anne Profile
Queen Anne furniture legs are recognised by their distinctive curved shape.
Unlike a plain block foot, the shaped profile becomes part of the appearance of the finished furniture and is particularly well suited to traditional upholstery.
Typical applications include:
- Classic armchairs
- Traditional sofas
- Footstools
- Fireside chairs
- Period-style furniture
- Reproduction furniture
- Upholstery restoration
- Matching replacement furniture legs
For simpler alternatives, browse Round Wooden Feet and Square Wooden Feet.
Choosing the Correct Queen Anne Leg Height
Queen Anne legs are available in several heights, allowing the proportions of the leg to be matched more closely to the furniture.
4″ Queen Anne Leg
Choose the 4″ Queen Anne Leg where:
- A compact traditional leg is required
- The furniture needs to remain relatively low
- A decorative leg is preferred to a plain furniture foot
- Existing furniture uses a similar leg height
- The leg will be used on a footstool or lower piece of furniture
6″ Queen Anne Leg
The 6″ Queen Anne Leg provides additional height while retaining the traditional Queen Anne profile.
8″ Queen Anne Leg
The 8″ Queen Anne Leg provides a taller option for chairs, sofas and furniture where more of the shaped leg needs to remain visible.
9″ Queen Anne Leg
The 9″ Queen Anne Leg provides a taller traditional profile for suitable upholstered furniture.
11″ Queen Anne Leg
For the tallest option in the range, see the 11″ Queen Anne Leg.
The 11″ version is better suited where a tall, prominent wooden leg forms an important part of the furniture design.
4″ Queen Anne Legs for Footstools
The shorter 4″ height makes this leg particularly useful for upholstered footstools.
It provides the traditional Queen Anne shape without lifting the stool excessively from the floor.
Suitable projects can include:
- Bespoke upholstered footstools
- Re-covering existing footstools
- Replacement of damaged wooden legs
- Matching stools for traditional armchairs
- Small upholstered stools
- Furniture restoration
Where a complete ready-made footstool frame is required rather than individual legs, browse Footstool Frames.
The Raw Queen Anne Footstool 460mm × 300mm provides a complete traditional frame ready for finishing and upholstery.
4″ Queen Anne Legs for Chairs & Sofas
The 4″ leg can also be used on suitable chairs and sofas where a shorter traditional wooden support is required.
Before fitting replacement legs to upholstered seating, check:
- Existing leg height
- Furniture frame construction
- Existing fixing method
- Position of each leg
- Required ground clearance
- Overall furniture proportions
- Finished seat height
A shorter leg can make furniture sit noticeably lower, so compare the replacement with an existing leg whenever possible.

Cream, Mahogany or Raw Queen Anne Legs?
The 4″ Queen Anne Leg is available in three finishes.
Cream
The Cream finish provides a lighter appearance suitable for painted furniture, pale fabrics and neutral interiors.
Mahogany
The Mahogany finish provides a darker traditional appearance that works particularly well with classic upholstery and darker wooden furniture.
Raw
The Raw version is supplied unfinished, allowing the European Beech timber to be stained, painted or otherwise finished to suit the furniture project.
Finishing Raw Queen Anne Legs
Choosing the Raw option gives greater control over the final appearance of the visible timber.
Depending on the required finish, the wood can be:
- Stained
- Painted
- Sealed
- Lacquered
- Polished
Browse Woodcare, Stains & Lacquers for suitable furniture-finishing products.
Before applying a finish:
- Make sure the timber is clean and dry
- Sand where required
- Remove sanding dust
- Test the chosen finish on a discreet area
- Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions
- Allow the finish to dry fully before fitting
For timber colouring options, browse Light Fast Stains.
Replacing Existing Queen Anne Legs
The 4″ Queen Anne Leg can be used as a replacement where existing traditional furniture legs have become damaged, worn or missing.
Before ordering:
- Measure an original leg where possible
- Check the existing leg height
- Check the furniture frame
- Confirm the existing fixing arrangement
- Compare the shape and proportions
- Check the number of legs required
- Select the appropriate finish
- Consider the effect on finished furniture height
Replacing all matching legs together can help maintain a consistent height and appearance.
If you’re unsure whether the leg is suitable, contact Livedale before ordering.
Protecting Wooden & Laminate Floors
Where wooden furniture legs sit directly on hard flooring, suitable felt protection can help reduce scratching and marking.
Self-Adhesive Felt Pads are available for suitable furniture applications.
Before fitting a pad, make sure:
- The base of the leg is clean and dry
- The pad fits within the contact area
- The furniture remains stable
- The pad does not interfere with the leg fixing
- Pads are checked periodically for wear
4″ Queen Anne Leg or Plain Wooden Foot?
The Queen Anne profile is primarily chosen where the appearance of the furniture leg matters.
Choose the 4″ Queen Anne Leg where:
- A traditional shaped leg is wanted
- The leg remains visible
- A compact height is required
- The furniture has classic styling
- A decorative replacement suits the original design
