The 54th Annual Winter Antiques Show à New York

2008 Winter Antiques Show loan exhibition. Shakers have become best known for the simple grace of their furniture. These chairs are excellent examples of successful Shaker design that is both functional and elegant. They were all made at Mount Lebanon, NY, during the last quarter of the 19th century. Mount Lebanon Shaker Village had a popular chair manufacturing business for more than 150 years, filling individual orders as well as wholesale orders for hotels, restaurants, and department stores.
