Weaver's Chair
At the Canterbury, New Hampshire Shaker community, the large Shaker hand looms required chairs with high seats, so the weavers could sit close to their work. The same chairs were also used at shop desks, laundry and ironing tables, and tailors' counters. Today, they are wonderfully suited for use as counter chairs or bar stools in the kitchen or family room. An example of the Shakers' ability to combine utility with beauty.
The original is in a private collection in Massachusetts. We make the Weaver's Chair in clear hard maple for strength.
Available as an unfinished kit and a "made to order" finished piece.
