From its genesis among the tightly-knit religious community known as the “Shakers”, Shaker furniture has continued to capture the imaginations of furniture lovers around the world. The Shakers migrated to the United States of America following religious tension in their European home. Bringing with them prodigious woodworking skills and ethics of integrity, hard work and practicality, the Shaker’s soon earned a reputation for their industry.
Originally crafted for Shaker religious gatherings, Shaker furniture is noted for its simple design, graceful style and durable hand-craftsmanship. Today, Shaker furniture is still crafted the traditional way by skilled Amish artisans using natural hardwoods.
