Description
The symmetry, simplicity and elegance of Shaker design is as practical and beautiful now as it was a century ago and serves as a source of inspiration for many of today's styles. With over 230 full-colour photographs this authoritative volume is a beautifully illustrated exploration not only of the works of the American Shaker communities but also of the unique lifestyle and creed that produced them.
