Shaker Style Furniture

Shaker furniture is a unique style of wood furniture developed by the Shakers who were a religious group that immigrated to America from Manchester, England in 1774. Furniture Shaker style was inspired by the ascetic religious beliefs the Shakers and came to be widely admired for the furniture’s quality, simplicity, functionality and innovative joinery. Wood Shakers furniture was made for use by members of the Shaker group as well as for sale to the greater public.
