Shaker ladderback chairs hung on pegrails. Peg rails were built into almost any Shaker room, serving as an ingenious, convenient way to hang clothes, framed arts, or even furniture not being used. These chairs are crafted in the classic Shaker style but show the variation that could be found even while adhering to tradition - different woods, veneer colors, seat materials, heights of chair backs...
