Summary note
"In 175 photographs, Robert Meader [Director of the Shaker Museum, Old Chatham, N.Y.] shows 267 individual pieces: chairs and footstools, the only items the Shakers sold to the World and therefore the most easily collected; tables, desks, case pieces, pegboards, clocks, and stoves, the items which the Shakers used in their communities; and decadent and doubtful pieces, items made during the decline of the group in the late 19th century. Details are given in another 60 photographs: finials, tilters, decals, pegging, scribe marks, caning, taping, latches, drawers, construction details, and table ends. Before each section Meader gives the importance of the article to the Shakers, varieties of Shaker patterns for the pieces, typical and atypical Shaker designs, and a historical background on important people and influences. With each picture he gives size, wood, added color, date, community, use, details to look for, and present location. A typical Shaker chair catalogue is included in the appendix"--Back cover.
