This is the perfect introduction to Shaker furniture design.This concise book surveys distinctive furniture styles produced during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Shaker communities of New England, Kentucky, and Ohio, with over 130 beautiful full color images. Free-standing tables, chairs, boxes, desks, built-in cupboards, and cases of drawers are shown.
The text provides an introduction to nearly twenty Shaker communities, their known cabinetmakers, identifiable traits of furniture designs unique to specific Shaker communites, and the characteristic colorful paints and stains used to finish them.
Timothy D. Rieman has been immersed in Shaker furniture for more than two decades, both as a builder and a researcher. He has written Shake: The Art of Craftsmanship, and co-authored The Shaker Chair and The Encyclopedia of Shaker Furniture.
