There doesn't seem to be any adjective attached to the reign of Queen Anne, the final Stuart monarch.
Kings named Edward get the adjective "Edwardian" attached to their reign. Queens named Victoria or Elizabeth get Victorian or Elizabethan. And so forth.
But nothing is Annean.
I guess this is because the phrase "Queen Anne" is so short. One doesn't have to refer to an Annean chair when one can simply say a "Queen Anne" chair without losing a beat.
Okay, this isn't going anywhere....
