Well, that's probably why they usually use the term "style" after the "Queen Anne" designation. I could build a house today in the Victorian "style" it wouldn't make it a Victorian house.
Saying something is in the "style" of a certain period means exactly that. It means that it is an homage to that period. I can't believe that I'm having to explain this to an Englishman ....
