This could be used in a room for a dining chair along with other Queen Anne styles, like a drop- leaf dining table.
3. Chippendale Style http://chestofbooks.com/home-improvement/furniture/Period/Other-American-Furniture-Part-2.html Chippendale Style was popular from 1760 to 1785. It is a combination of lesser styles like French and Rocco. This is an example of Chippendale because of the embellishment at the top and the secretary style. I would use this in a room with other styles like a chippendale table.
5. Contemporary/Modern http://www.haikudesigns.com/bedroom3.htm Contemporary style uses lots of geometric shapes and is simple and meant to look like a sculpture.

11. Baroque Style http://www.efi-costarica.com/louis-xiv-furniture.html Baroque style was the Italian outgrowth of the late renaissance. It displayed fullness of size, scale and proportion and used inlays of marble, ivory and bronze. This is a good example because it is very intricate and has a marble top. I would use this in a room with the same type of furniture.
