What Is Shaker Furniture?

Shaker furniture is a style of furniture that is identified by its simplistic beauty & lack of ornamentation. Furniture incorporating Shaker design is made thoughtfully, with functional form & proportion that add to its visual interest. Shaker furniture was first built by a religious group known as The Shakers, who emigrated from England to The New World in the late 1700’s and settled in the New England Region.
