Oval Boxes - Surplus Inventory!
We make our Shaker oval boxes in much the same way as the Mt. Lebanon, New York Shaker community during the mid-19th century. We currently produce our oval boxes in eight different sizes and we use the original Shaker numbering system (No. 8 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 exteriors are finished in satin lacquer; insides are unfinished. The Shakers used oval boxes for sewing and quilting notions and for kitchen dry goods. Today, their uses are unlimited.
