Title: Queen Anne Vanity or Dressing table with mirror
Post by: FMATAS on September 25, 2016, 12:15:55 PM

Hi,
  My daughter-in-law to be has asked me for a Queen Anne style vanity with mirror and stool.  Anyone have any suggestions where I can get a decent set of plans or at least pictures?

Your daughter in law obviously had something in mind, since the request was so specific; so ask her to show you pics of what she wants. Once you have images then: Norman Vandal's book, Queen Anne Furniture, History, Design and Construction, has section on scaling from photographs. Also, can recommend a DVD, Building Period Furniture from Photos with Mike Siemsen from Pop Woodworking.
Hope this helps.
