History of Grand Shaker Furniture

The Grand Shakers were similar to the Amish in many ways except that they actually valued technology because it saved time in furniture making so they, in turn, could then have more time worshiping God.  This religious sect was originally from England and immigrated to America with the prophet Ann Lee in 1774. The name Grand Shaker originated from this group actually shaking and dancing with joy when they worshiped.  They were the Shaking Quakers or Shakers.  

The Grand Shakers believed in living a humble, pure, simple and honest life.  These beliefs were reflected in the furniture that they built.  They didn't believe in being dishonest in their furniture construction techniques, therefore, you can expect amazing quality in Shaker furniture.  Corners were not cut and no ornate carvings, elaborate hardware, veneers or inlays were used as these were considered deceitful.  Dovetailing and mortise and tenon construction are just some of the quality features of Grand Shaker furniture.  The hardwoods used were all local American cherry, maple or pine wood and not imported.  

The Grand Shaker chair is the most popular and well-known piece of Shaker furniture.  Ladderbacks, woven seats, straight lines, stained or painted often in reds, blues, greens or yellows are characteristics of the Shaker dining chair.  These chairs were built to be hung up on the wall with pegs so they were out of the way when not in use.  

The Shaker style places a strong emphasis on function and form. This lack of formal decorations brings out the full beauty of the solid hardwoods. Unpretentious, plain and simple is the trademark of the Shaker furniture style.  Our Amish woodworkers still bring the same Shaker values into DutchCrafters Shaker furniture.
