The History of Shaker Furniture

The story of Shaker-style furniture begins back in the 1700s, when a radical religious sect called The United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing emigrated from England to the east coast of America to practice communal living. They earned themselves the nickname ‘The Shaking Quakers’ – shortened to ‘Shakers’ – for their rather energetic style of worship, which would see them dance or shake vigorously. According to the Shakers, their movements were being influenced by the power of God.
