SHAKER_Design the Jewelry Box
The SHAKER religious community was founded in Manchester, Great Britain, in the 18th century. In 1774, the group emigrated to the American state of New York.
Here in Europe, the Shakers are mainly known for their furniture and product designs. Today, the Shaker style is considered an independent and influential contribution to art history. Shaker furniture was already widespread throughout the USA in the 19th century and was also presented at world exhibitions. Their formal austerity, lack of ornamentation and focus on utility show parallels to the English Arts and Crafts movement and also influenced modern architecture and design at the beginning of the 20th century.
The boxes have been made by hand from the highest quality cherry wood, copper nails and tiny wooden dowels for over 250 years.
The "tray" insert is included with the Jewelry Box.
