Description
6″ Queen Anne Wooden Furniture Leg
The 6″ Queen Anne Leg is a traditionally shaped wooden furniture leg produced from high-quality European Beech hardwood.
Its distinctive curved profile provides a decorative alternative to plain round or square furniture feet while the 6″ height gives greater ground clearance than the shorter 4″ Queen Anne leg.
Available in Cream, Mahogany and Raw, it is suitable for new furniture, upholstery projects, restoration work and replacing damaged or missing traditional furniture legs.

6″ Queen Anne Leg Specification
- Nominal height: 6″
- 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 6″ height provides a useful middle ground where a traditional shaped wooden leg is required without the more prominent proportions of the taller Queen Anne options.
Traditional Queen Anne Furniture Style
Queen Anne furniture legs are recognised by their distinctive curved profile.
The shaped design makes the leg a visible part of the completed furniture rather than simply a concealed support underneath it.
The 6″ version is particularly suited to:
- Traditional armchairs
- Sofas and settees
- Upholstered chairs
- Footstools
- Occasional furniture
- Furniture restoration
- Reproduction furniture
- Bespoke upholstery projects
For simpler furniture supports, browse Round Wooden Feet or Square Wooden Feet.
Choosing the Correct Queen Anne Leg Height
The Queen Anne range includes several different heights, allowing the proportions of the leg to be matched more closely to the furniture.
6″ Queen Anne Leg
Choose the 6″ Queen Anne Leg where:
- A medium-height traditional leg is required
- More clearance is needed than a 4″ leg provides
- The shaped leg needs to remain clearly visible
- The furniture proportions suit a 6″ support
- A traditional appearance is preferred
4″ Queen Anne Leg
The 4″ Queen Anne Leg provides a shorter alternative for lower furniture and compact footstools.
8″ Queen Anne Leg
The 8″ Queen Anne Leg provides additional height where a more prominent Queen Anne profile is required.
9″ Queen Anne Leg
The 9″ Queen Anne Leg is suitable where a taller decorative leg better suits the furniture proportions.
11″ Queen Anne Leg
For the tallest option, see the 11″ Queen Anne Leg.
The 11″ version is better suited where the wooden leg needs to form a particularly prominent feature of the finished furniture.
6″ Queen Anne Legs for Chairs
The 6″ height works particularly well on suitable upholstered chairs where the leg remains visible beneath the frame.
Typical applications include:
- Traditional armchairs
- Occasional chairs
- Fireside chairs
- Upholstered bedroom chairs
- Restoration projects
- Replacement chair legs
Before changing the legs on an existing chair, compare the new height with the originals and consider how the change will affect the finished seat height.
6″ Queen Anne Legs for Sofas
The Queen Anne profile can also be used on sofas and settees where a traditional shaped wooden support suits the furniture design.
Before fitting replacement sofa legs, check:
- Existing leg height
- Furniture frame construction
- Existing fixing arrangement
- Position of each leg
- Required ground clearance
- Finished seat height
- Overall furniture proportions
For other furniture-leg styles, browse Wooden Furniture Feet & Legs.
6″ Queen Anne Legs for Footstools
The 6″ Queen Anne Leg is also suitable for footstool projects where a more prominent leg is required than the shorter 4″ version.
It can be used for:
- Bespoke upholstered footstools
- Traditional footstools
- Matching stools for armchairs
- Furniture refurbishment
- Replacement of damaged legs
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.
Cream, Mahogany or Raw Queen Anne Legs?
The 6″ Queen Anne Leg is available in three finishes.
Cream
The Cream finish provides a lighter appearance that works particularly well with neutral fabrics, painted furniture and lighter interior schemes.
Mahogany
The Mahogany finish provides a darker traditional appearance suitable for 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.
Finishing Raw Queen Anne Legs
The Raw option is particularly useful for restoration work or bespoke furniture where the finished timber needs to complement an existing colour or wood tone.
Depending on the required appearance, the timber can be:
- Stained
- Painted
- Sealed
- Lacquered
- Polished
Browse Woodcare, Stains & Lacquers for 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 6″ Queen Anne Leg can be used when existing traditional furniture legs have become damaged, worn or missing.
Before ordering:
- Measure an original leg where possible
- Check the existing leg height
- Inspect the furniture frame
- Confirm the fixing arrangement
- Compare the shape and proportions
- Check how many legs are required
- Select the appropriate finish
- Consider the effect on finished furniture height
Where possible, replacing matching legs together helps maintain 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 can be fitted to suitable furniture feet where a softer contact surface is required.
Before fitting a felt pad:
- Make sure the base of the leg is clean and dry
- Check that the pad fits within the contact area
- Make sure the furniture remains stable
- Check the pads periodically for wear
6″ Queen Anne Leg or Plain Wooden Foot?
The Queen Anne profile is particularly suited to furniture where the appearance of the leg forms part of the finished design.
Choose the 6″ Queen Anne Leg where:
- A traditional shaped leg is required
- The wooden leg remains visible
- A medium furniture-leg height is suitable
- The furniture has classic styling
- A decorative replacement suits the original design
For a simpler support, browse Round Wooden Feet or Square Wooden Feet.
For low-profile corner furniture supports, browse L Shape Wooden Feet.
Check Before Ordering
Before ordering a 6″ Queen Anne Leg, check:
- 6″ leg height
- Existing furniture-leg dimensions
- Required finished furniture height
- Furniture-frame construction
- Existing fixing arrangement
- Number of legs required
- Required finish
