Painted Shaker Oval Boxes
The Shakers produced oval boxes with uniformly slender sides, symmetrical joints, and neat, tight-fitting lids. These oval boxes are unique because they are made on reproductions of the original forms and templates used at the Mt. Lebanon, New York Shaker community during the mid-19th century. Like the originals, these are produced in eleven different sizes and we use the original Shaker numbering system (No. 11 being the smallest box and No. 1 being the largest box).
The Shakers painted or stained many of their oval boxes. These are hand painted using water-based, lead-free colours, then lightly rubbed for an antiqued look. Our colours are very close to those the Shakers used.
Available Colours: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow.
