For our first Insta post ever, we wanted to share a recently acquired unique Enfield Shaker Rocker with you! While this chair has many features seen on typical Enfield chairs, such as yellow birch, delicate, candle flame finials and progressively arched back slats, it interestingly features an extra tall back with 4 slats, which when combined with an extra low splint seat and no arms gives the chair an odd proportion. Armless rockers like this chair have generally upright posture which facilitated working comfortably at a desk or counter, as opposed to the reclining rocking chairs we are familiar with today for relaxing. #enfieldshakermuseum #shakerchairs #shakerfurniture #fourslats #splintseat (at Enfield Shaker Museum)
