No. 5 Tape Back Shaker Side Chair - unassembled and unfinished kit
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 Side Chair in hard maple. Height of back is 40 3/4". Height of seat 17 1/2". Width 20 3/4". Depth 17 1/8".
Shown in medium stained maple with a hand-rubbed oil and wax finish; woven in 5/8" Black and 5/8" Olive Green Shaker chair tape in a herringbone pattern.
This item is an unassembled and unfinished kit.
