Enfield Dining Chair
This form of dining chair is associated with the two Shaker villages in the New Hampshire bishopric, Enfield and Canterbury. First made by Brother Micajah Tucker in 1834 to replace the benches in the dining room at Canterbury. No doubt the Shakers were well satisfied--the wood seat allows for easy cleanup of spills and it slides under the table when not in use.
We make the Enfield Dining Chair with a seat of solid Eastern white pine. Turnings and back slat are hard maple. Shown in Mahogany Stain with Lacquer Finish.
Available as an unfinished kit and a "made to order" finished piece.
