For well over a century, the world has noted the distinctive chairs
made by Shaker communities throughout the eastern United States. A
writer for House Beautiful suggested at the beginning of the
twentieth century that "If you own a Shaker chair, preserve it with
great care, for it will soon be considered an antique, and a rare
one at that." In this definitive book, that statement is verified
as the authors examine in depth the styles and production
techniques of chairs made at ten Shaker communities during the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Historical and
contemporary photographs, extensive journal and account book
references, diaries, postcards, catalog advertisements, and
detailed line drawings are all used to document the chairs'
history. Readers will find valuable information on identification
of chair types and origins as well as an analysis of design and
construction. An essential resource for collectors, historians,
designers, and devotees of antique furniture.
