It was common practice for the Shakers
to use different wood combinations in their furniture building.
The use of rare figured hardwoods added a natural beauty to a
simple design without interfering with their beliefs, as they
believed it was God who made the lumber so beautiful, and not
their hand. In this dresser, Michael and John used heavily
figured Curly Maple for the case, flaming Red Birch for the
dovetailed drawers and hand turned Walnut Knobs. The drawers
are graduated in size in classic Shaker design. The dimensions
are 54" wide x 38" high x 22 1/2" deep.
We offer Shaker dressers in many different different configurations
of door, drawer, and style designs with matching bedroom furniture.
Price available upon request.
