Description
8″ Queen Anne Wooden Furniture Leg
The 8″ Queen Anne Leg is a traditionally shaped wooden furniture leg produced from European Beech hardwood for upholstered furniture, restoration and replacement projects.
Its distinctive curved Queen Anne profile provides a decorative alternative to plain furniture feet, while the 8″ height gives the leg a more prominent appearance beneath chairs, sofas and other traditional furniture.
Available in Cream, Mahogany and Raw, it can be selected to complement existing furniture or finished specifically for a bespoke project.

Choosing the Correct Queen Anne Leg Height
Selecting the correct height is important when replacing existing furniture legs or designing a new piece.
8″ Queen Anne Leg
Choose the 8″ Queen Anne Leg where:
- A taller traditional furniture leg is required
- The shaped wooden profile needs to remain clearly visible
- More ground clearance is required than a 4″ or 6″ leg provides
- The furniture proportions suit an 8″ leg
- A traditional decorative appearance is preferred
6″ Queen Anne Leg
The 6″ Queen Anne Leg provides a shorter alternative where less height is required.
9″ Queen Anne Leg
The 9″ Queen Anne Leg provides a slightly taller option while retaining the traditional Queen Anne profile.
11″ Queen Anne Leg
For a considerably taller and more prominent furniture leg, see the 11″ Queen Anne Leg.
4″ Queen Anne Leg
For lower furniture and compact footstools, the 4″ Queen Anne Leg provides the shortest option.
8″ Queen Anne Legs for Chairs
The 8″ Queen Anne Leg is particularly suited to traditional chairs where a substantial section of the wooden leg remains visible beneath the upholstered frame.
Typical applications include:
- Armchairs
- Fireside chairs
- Occasional chairs
- Bedroom chairs
- Traditional upholstered seating
- Restoration projects
- Replacement chair legs
Before replacing existing chair legs, compare the 8″ height with the originals and consider how the change will affect the finished seat height.
8″ Queen Anne Legs for Sofas
The Queen Anne profile can also be used on suitable sofas and settees where a traditional decorative wooden support complements 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

- Bespoke footstools
- Matching stools for armchairs
- Decorative occasional stools
- Furniture refurbishment
- Replacement of damaged wooden legs

Cream, Mahogany or Raw Queen Anne Legs?
The 8″ Queen Anne Leg is available in three finish options.
Cream
The Cream finish provides a lighter appearance suitable for neutral interiors, pale upholstery fabrics and painted furniture.
Mahogany
The Mahogany finish provides a darker traditional appearance suited to classic upholstery and darker wooden furniture.
Raw
The Raw option is supplied unfinished, allowing the European Beech timber to be stained, painted or otherwise finished to match the furniture project.
Finishing Raw Queen Anne Legs
The Raw version provides greater flexibility where the visible leg needs to complement an existing timber colour or furniture finish.
Depending on the required appearance, the timber 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

- Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions
- Allow the finish to dry thoroughly before fitting

Replacing Existing Queen Anne Legs
The 8″ Queen Anne Leg can be used when existing furniture legs are damaged, worn, missing or no longer suitable.
Before ordering:
- Measure an existing leg where possible
- Check the original leg height
- Inspect 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
Where matching legs are being replaced, changing them together helps maintain consistent furniture 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 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
- Inspect the pads periodically for wear
8″ Queen Anne Leg or Plain Wooden Foot?
The Queen Anne profile is particularly suited to furniture where the appearance of the leg is an important part of the finished design.
Choose the 8″ Queen Anne Leg where:
- A traditional shaped furniture leg is required
- The leg will remain clearly visible
- An 8″ furniture-leg height is suitable
- The furniture has classic styling
- A decorative wooden replacement is preferred
For a simpler support, browse Round Wooden Feet or Square Wooden Feet.
For low-profile corner supports, browse L Shape Wooden Feet.
