To create the Shaker Settee, we worked with a New York company that's been making furniture since 1807. The mill began by making two-inch planks, which were built into flat-bottom scows that ferried salt from New York to Pennsylvania. Those days are long gone, but the plank-shaped front and rear rails on this Settee tell us that this company hasn't forgotten its history. Combining Shaker and Windsor influences, this Settee takes advantage of both handcrafted and modern manufaturing techniques. The seat is slightly shaped for comfort, and the top rail neatly frames the spindles that taper toward the top to provide a visual lightness. Two adults of the three children can be comfortably seated on this piece, and the settee is well suited for use in dining, entry or waiting areas. Made in U.S.A.
