About the Item

This remarkable Shaker #7 Shawl Back Rocker, attributed to the Mount Lebanon Shakers, offers a timeless example of minimalist design combined with exceptional craftsmanship. Likely crafted from ash and pine, the chair features the characteristic clean lines and functional beauty that the Shaker community was known for. The “7” stamp on the back signifies its authenticity and follows the Shaker tradition of numbering their pieces. The chair’s design is enhanced by the shawl back that curves elegantly, offering both comfort and support. Though the woven seat has been refreshed, it retains its original, humble charm. Notably, the chair was once fitted with tape on the back, with the tack holes still visible, which adds to its historical appeal. The wood shows signs of light wear but remains structurally sound and entirely functional. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of Shaker furniture, this chair offers both a practical seating option and a meaningful connection to a bygone era, illustrating the Shakers’ commitment to simplicity and utility. 41h x 25w x 26d seat height 16
