Shaker of malvern
Shaker furniture originates from the religious
movement in North America known as ‘The
Society of Believers in Christ’s Second
Appearing’. Shakers lived and worked together
in communities where they created stunningly
simple, beautifully crafted items of hand made
furniture to ‘the glory of God’.
Shaker furniture is widely
admired worldwide for its
simplicity, innovative joinery,
quality, and functionality.
Shakers made furniture for
their own use, as well as for
sale to the general public.
Many examples of Shaker furniture survive and
are preserved today, including such popular
forms as Shaker tables, chairs, rocking chairs
(made in several sizes), cabinets, and bedsteads.
Collections of Shaker furniture are maintained
by many art and historical museums in the
United States and England, as well as in
numerous private collections. Its appeal to the
modern eye is undeniable, with a very ‘less is
more’ feel throughout. The underlying principles
of Shaker design have given inspiration to some
of the finest designers of modern furniture.
Our business started in 1985
when Alan Eldridge began
making contemporary furniture.
The business has grown to a
team of ten craftsmen and in
1997 we began making Shaker
furniture.
Since then we have made a wide range of
Shaker furniture such as beds, wardrobes,
blanket boxes, chests of drawers, dining tables,
occasional tables, dressing tables, peg rails etc.
Our trained craftsmen enjoy making these
pieces because they are as challenging as they
are rewarding and whilst they appear elegant
and simple they must be extremely well made.
Each piece of Shaker furniture is
made almost entirely of solid
wood using maple and cherry
and occasionally oak or walnut.
As each Shaker of Malvern piece
is made individually, your exact requirements
can be met.

weaver’s chair
low Back chair
straight chair
At the Canterbury New
Hampshire community,
the large Shaker hand
looms required chairs
with high seats, so the
weavers could sit close
to their work. The
same chairs were used
at shop desks, laundry
and ironing tables and
tailors’ counters - an
example of the Shakers
ability to combine
utility with beauty.
Today they are
wonderfully suited as a
counter or bar chair in
the kitchen or family
room. Not available in
solid cherry.
This chair neatly
exemplifies the
Shakers’ sense of
practicality - it was
designed with a low
two slat back so that it
could be tucked under
the table after meal
time. Its lightweight,
sturdy construction and
space-saving size make
it perfect for use in the
kitchen, dining room
or study. Not available
in solid cherry.
The straight chair has
tall back posts and
smooth curved slats
giving it a look of
grace and beauty.

The tall back posts
with their delicately
rounded finials give
this chair a look and
feel of grace and
beauty. Thomas
Merton in 1840 wrote
“The peculiar grace of
a Shaker chair is due
to the maker’s belief
that an angel might
come and sit on it”
These chairs are based
upon an original
design by the Mt.
Lebanon Shakers in
1860. The backposts
are bent to the rear
and the back rails are
generously curved, so
that the back ‘fits’ a
person - short or tall perfectly. The height
and overall dimensions
were all thoughtfully
worked out to be an
extremely comfortable
chair made by the
Shakers.

The purity of Shaker
design is eloquently
captured in this delicate
example, with its slender
tapered pedestal and
crescent shape feet. It was
made in the Second Family
at the New Lebanon
Shaker village. The original
was made in cherry.
The Shakers were among the first in America to
produce chairs on a large scale. Their first chairs
sold in 1789. Over the years they made many
refinements in design and proportion because
of their belief that the most simple things are
also the most beautiful. The advantage of
buying a Shaker of Malvern dining chair is that
the design and materials have been tested over
time and found to be successful.

Furniture Delivery Costs
At Shaker of Malvern we care greatly about the
environment and this is why all of our timber is
from certified, sustainable resources. As we
have been making furniture in Malvern since
1985, we have built a good relationship with
our suppliers and Alan personally selects only
the very best timber. As with all natural
products, the grain and colour of wood varies
and this adds to the beauty of a hand finished
bespoke product. No two pieces are identical
and therefore each item is unique to you. If you
order more than one piece of furniture we go
to great lengths to ensure as much consistency
with colour and grain etc. as possible. This
personal service is the advantage of buying
from a small company that takes pride in
guaranteeing customer satisfaction. We use solid
wood throughout our furniture except
occasionally where for technical reasons solid
wood veneer is preferable. Our products are
finished with a durable coat of lacquer unless
you specifically request an oil and wax finish.
Our small team of craftsmen manufacture all of
the furniture in our Malvern workshop with the
exception of the chairs. The chair components
are made in an American workshop and we
assemble, polish and weave them here. The
tape we use is a heavy duty 100% cotton canvas
webbing which has been yarn dyed with fade
resistance in mind. There are 14 colours to
choose from and we are very happy to provide
tape samples on request.
We use a specialised furniture delivery service
and are happy to quote for delivery world-wide.
The cost depends on the size of the furniture
and your location. If you are ordering a smaller
item it may be possible for us to deliver this by
Royal Mail or courier. Please ask for a quote.
If you have already purchased Shaker chairs
and would like us to re-weave them in an
alternative colour we are happy to do this.
Alternatively, we can supply the tape and
weaving instructions if you would like to have a
go yourself.

For us to re-weave a dining chair seat

How long will my order take?
We will always tell you this when you place the
order. Please ask if you have a deadline to meet
and we will do our best to help you achieve
this, but generally speaking larger items are 6 8 weeks, though at busier times it could be 10
weeks. Smaller items such as pegrail are usually
less than 6 weeks. You will always be kept
informed when you can expect delivery and our
furniture delivery service aims to work with
you. We carry very little stock as most people
want a bespoke service. High quality furniture
takes time to make and is worth waiting for.
You can rest assured that we will not make
promises we cannot fulfil. If you would like to
visit our workshop to see your furniture being
made we would welcome you
by appointment. Alternatively
we can send photographs of
the production via email if you
would like to see how it is
progressing.
