Inspired by an 1825 Shaker “Double Counter” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this dresser reflects the quiet restraint of early 19th-century Shaker design. Made from solid Cherry or Walnut, it has eight-and-one-quarter-inch single-slab drawer fronts for an uninterrupted feature of the wood grain.

The dovetailed drawer boxes are built from unfinished solid White Pine in the New England tradition, fitted with full-extension side-mount glides for smooth everyday use. Drawer bottoms are birch-veneered domestic plywood, and the back panel is tongue-and-grooved unfinished White Pine.

The exterior is finished with hand-rubbed raw linseed oil for a matte surface consistent with the rest of our bedroom furniture. Cherry will deepen in color over time, while Walnut will gradually lighten. Available in single or double bay configurations, each dresser is built for long service and easy repair. The classic proportions sit comfortably in both traditional and contemporary settings. 

Photography of the single bay and Walnut versions will be added soon. Our manufacturing capacity will grow slowly over time and means stock will be limited - please refer to lead times as you purchase.
