Shaker boxes are the most iconic expressions of Shaker craftsmanship—simple, functional, and beautifully made. Each box is formed from thin, steam-bent bands of wood secured with t he Shakers’ signature “swallowtail” joints, then fitted with a precisely carved lid. Designed for everyday use, they were made in nested sets and used to store everything from seeds and spices to sewing notions. These 5 handcrafted vintage wooden nesting boxes are wonderful examples of Shaker utility and beauty. Largest box measures 8 3/4" x 6" x 3 1/4" Smallest box measures 3 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" Show more
