NO. 5 TAPE BACK SHAKER ARM CHAIR CLEAR CHERRY
In the early 1860's, the Mt. Lebanon Shakers designed a line of chairs sized specifically for those who were to use them, ranging from the No. 0, for infants, up to the No. 7, for large-sized adults. The No. 5 size was intended for use as a dining chair. The backposts are bent to the rear and the back rails are generously curved, so that the back "fits" a person - tall or short - perfectly.
We reproduce the No. 5 Tape Back Shaker Arm Chair in a superior grade of clear Pennsylvania cherry. Height of back is 40 3/4". Height to top of arms 25 1/8". Height of seat 17 1/2". Width 20 3/4". Depth 17 1/8".
Shown in clear cherry with a hand-rubbed Oil and Wax Finish; woven in 5/8" Olive Green Shaker chair tape in a herringbone pattern.
Available as an unfinished kit, a "ready to ship" finished piece, and a "made to order" finished piece.
Kit is supplied with Oil Finish, rather than stain, to bring out the natural color of the cherry wood. On the finished version, you may select oil finish or a stain color. Please also select the chair tape colors of your choice (see below).
