SHAKER DELANEY SHAFFER DES 3143 ARCHITECTURE ROUND BARN • The concept of round barn construction began in 1793 when George Washington designed and built a 16-sided threshing barn at his Dogue Run Farm in Fairfax County, Va. • The Round Stone Barn is the only circular barn ever built by the Shakers. Widely recognized as an architectural icon and agricultural wonder MEETING HOUSE • Two stories with the first being one big room. • The main room was for gatherings in the community. • Benches used for seating would be placed around the sides of the room to clear the floor for a dancing area. “…after supper we retire to the Meetinghouse, where and when we have a good heavenly feast of ? love and Union, sing, speak, and pray together…” —1837 Shaker journal entry FURNITURE SHAKER CHAIRS • Chairs made by the Shakers followed form based on simple 18th-century designs, primarily Federal influences. • Extraneous ornamentation and elements imparting comfort were considered inappropriate due to the strict religious beliefs of the Shakers. • While the basic shape of many Shaker chairs was the same, the seats varied in material. • Craftsmen made use of local timber that was readily available. Because of this, woods varied by region. Common species included maple, pine, cherry, and walnut. Hickory was used especially for designs that required bent pieces. DINING CHAIR LADDER BACK ARMCHAIR LADDER BACK SIDECHAIR REVOLVING CHAIR OR STOOL Revolving chairs, also known as stools or swivel chairs, were produced by Shakers in many styles and sizes. Most stools have a round seat that rotates on the base. ROCKING CHAIR The Shakers were probably the first people in the country to use and produce the rocking chair on a large scale, according to Clarence Hornung's Treasury of American Design and Antiques. Rocking chairs made by Shakers living in New Lebanon were often characterized by oval finials, round handgrips, and the shape of the rocker blades. SETTEE This is a bench that would be used in the meeting houses. NESTING BOXES Traditionally made to store sewing notions and dried goods, the bins can also be used to hold stationery, and jewelry. These classic bentwood nesting boxes aren’t held together by glue but with copper tacks and wooden dowels. SPIDER LEG TRIPOD STAND Similar to a seed stand. This table has a round top with three legs. This table was used as a nightstand and a side table. BUILT-IN CABINETS Shaker style cabinets have doors with recessed panels and minimal adornments. Many Shaker cabinets are built using hardwood, although some may use veneer panels in the doors. The style is complemented with natural finishes or light stains. CANDLE STAND As your candles burn down the height of the candles can be adjusted buy turning the candle holder arm up on the threaded center piece. BED Classic Shaker bed frames feature a single panel headboard with square or round legs, that are often tapered. Modern designs follow the same rule, with a slightly more stylish slatted headboard. FURNITURE ELEMENTS CHAIR TAPE ON SEAT In Shaker communities, fabric tape was preferred over rush, wood splint, or cane because of it’s functionality. It does not dry out and break, nor does it pinch or snag clothing. It is simple and quick to weave and more colorful CANDLE FLAME FINIAL Like the name suggest, this is a finial that is shaped as a candle flame. Normally placed on rocking chairs, armchairs, and side chairs. EGG AND CUP FINIAL Like the name suggest, this is a finial that is shaped like an egg in a cup. Like the Candle flame Finial these are normally placed on rocking chairs, armchairs, and side chairs. MUSHROOM CAP FINIAL This is a flat finial place on the end of arms on a chair. PEG RAIL The shakers used these peg rails for hanging candle sconces, small cupboards, and clothes. They were also used in home and meeting houses to hang chairs up.
