Shaker Collection, circa 1810-1850 influence
Our collection embraces classic nineteenth-century Shaker design principles of harmonious proportion, constructive integrity and form based on function. Shorn of excess ornamentation, this furniture aesthetic lends a quiet and graceful dignity to any space, evoking the Shaker philosophy of “Less is more.” Shaker communities from New England to the Midwest believed “’Tis a Gift to Be Simple, ” and with “Hands to work, and hearts to God, ” they elevated American Pine & Cherry to artistic forms of plain perfection. Their version of abundance has stood the test of time. Today Adriance Shaker-inspired works represent the finest value in handmade furniture for its intrinsic merit. Collecting Adriance Shaker is a prudent commitment to your family’s artistic legacy; the perfect choice for a simple-yet-elegant lifestyle.
