What is Shaker Style Furniture?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shaker-style furniture is handcrafted, solid wood furniture dating back to the 18th Century. It originated with a religious group called the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, which followed the teachings of prophet Ann Lee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group came from England and settled in North America in the late 1700s<\/a>. Followers of this religious group became known as the ‘Shaking Quakers’ or ‘shakers’ due to their ecstatic dancing during worship. Thus, giving this style of furniture its name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shakers were devout people, committed to living simple, self-sufficient, dutiful, and obscure lives, and this is reflected in their craftsmanship. They believed in working with their own hands as an act of worship, including making their own furniture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reflection of their commitment to simplicity, their furniture designs focused on function and quality rather than fashion and style. It is this enduring emphasis on functionality and simplicity that has maintained market appeal for Shaker furniture over the centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain unique identifiers distinguish Shaker-style furniture from other simple, minimalist furniture designs. They include clean and elegant lines, simple design with no ornamentation, tapered legs, and mushroom-style wooden knobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Shaker furniture is made from solid wood harvested from their lands, such as pine, hickory, oak, cherry, and maple. Each piece is then dutifully handcrafted to produce high-quality, durable pieces of furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
