(More customer reviews)I got this as a gift for my wife, who loves Shaker boxes in general, she loves this one in particular. She has most of the sizes, but not any this big. This is a big, beautiful, well-made box, and looks really nice in her collection. She's going to use it for her yarns.

The Shakers produced oval boxes with uniformly slender sides, symmetrical joints, and neat, tight-fitting lids. Shaker Workshops oval boxes are unique because we make them 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). This is the No. 1 size Shaker Oval Box. We handcraft them of select Pennsylvania cherry, secured by copper tacks. Tops and bottoms are fastened with wooden pegs. We hand rub them with several coats of oil finish and buff them until they "glow". The Shakers used oval boxes for sewing and quilting notions and for kitchen dry goods. Today, their uses are unlimited. We also sell nests of oval boxes on this web site, for a special price. Made in USA.
