Shaker Furniture
Shaker furniture is known for its clean lines, simplicity and quality
craftsmanship. The designs were inspired by the Shaker’s sense of order and
neatness, which is reflected in the clean lines, functionality and lack of
ornamentation. Shaker furniture was primarily made from less expensive
woods and maple, and less often from cherry, birch and walnut.
Shakers were the pioneers of form and function. Each piece of furniture was
built solely to serve its intended use and was built without decoration or
ornamentation. The simplicity of the furniture is the key to the style of
Shaker furniture. Many of the elements of the Shaker furniture are found to
influence modern contemporary furniture.
The armoire, bed side table and 5 drawer chest below are just a few examples
of the refinement of the Shaker style of furniture.
