About Our Shaker Oval Boxes
We make our Shaker oval boxes on reproductions of the original forms and templates used at the Mt. Lebanon, New York Shaker community during the mid-19th century. Like the Shakers, we produce our oval boxes in eleven different sizes and we use the original Shaker numbering system (No. 11 being the smallest box and No. 1 being the largest box). And, like the Shakers, our oval boxes feature uniformly slender sides, symmetrical joints, and neat, tight-fitting lids.
We handcraft them of select cherry, secured by copper tacks. Tops and bottoms are fastened with wooden pegs. The Shakers used oval boxes for sewing and quilting notions and for kitchen dry goods. Today, their uses are unlimited.
Our oval box-inspired carriers and trays are finished with the same quality and attention to detail, and are as beautiful as they are useful thoughout the home.
The pre-order window for our Winter production run (scheduled to start in January 2024) has now closed. First shipments are then anticipated to begin by mid-February, in the order in which orders were received.
If you wish to be notified of the next pre-order opportunity, please make sure you are signed up on our mailing list!
