A masterful contemporary interpretation of the iconic Shaker Number 7 rocker, this handcrafted armchair from Shaker Workshops honors the legacy of Mount Lebanon’s revered furniture tradition. Crafted in solid maple, it showcases the minimalist elegance and ergonomic grace that define Shaker design.
• Distinctive rolled crest rail crowns a series of four shaped back splats, including a straight top rail and leaf-like ladder-back slats.
• Swept arms terminate in bold knuckles with domed disc detailing — both sculptural and functional.
• Double stretcher rails ensure strength and stability.
• Ski-shaped rocker rails offer a smooth, balanced motion.
• Handwoven rush seat is taut, clean, and visually pleasing.
• Turned legs and arm supports reflect traditional joinery and craftsmanship.
This is a Number 7 model, a classic form born in the Mount Lebanon Shaker community of New York — celebrated for its quiet beauty, practical elegance, and enduring comfort.
