With its generous proportions and stately lines, this classic Shaker armchair is exceptionally comfortable. The slender finials on the rear posts and the ‘mushroom’ turnings on the armrests are copied in precise detail from the antique Shaker chair. The early American original was made at the Mt. Lebanon New York Shaker community in the 1860s.
The frame is cherry wood with a hand-rubbed oil & wax finish. The manufacturer used a blend made by Odies Oil, which is an all-natural oil and wax that is non-toxic both in use and finish. It hardens and achieves an even greater luster over time and is highly resistant to stains & moisture.
The woven seat is extremely durable and was meticulously created in a signature Shaker checkerboard pattern.
Shaker furniture is admired worldwide for its simplicity, innovative joinery, quality, and functionality. It beautifully expresses the harmony and order that the Shakers sought in every aspect of their lives. Its clear crisp lines, strength and singular lightness make these chairs suitable for modern and traditional interiors. The underlying principles of Shaker design have given inspiration to some of the finest designers of modern furniture. For instance, Shaker ladder back chairs deeply influenced the work of the Postwar Danish designers.
