The Shakers were among the very first in America to engage in the business of producing chairs on a large scale. They sold their first chairs at New Lebanon, New York in 1789. During the nineteenth century, they made many refinements in design and proportion, because of their belief that the most simple things are the most beautiful.

From the "Ebay 30" acquisition comes this lovely Shaker slat back chair -- I am so pleased to have it!
It's just lovely, isn't it? I love its lines, the seat ... just love it!
[Prov.: Ebay 30. Scale: 10.75" height, 4.5" width, 4" depth]
