The Meaning of Shaker Cabinets

Shaker cabinets, commonly referred to as French cabinets, are one of the oldest American cabinet designs in the world. Although originally created for the home, Shaker cabinets are now also made for commercial and office use.

The name 'Shaker' was used to identify the first settlers in what is now western New York State. Many Shakers moved to Ohio, where they established the Shaker community. They were farmers and craftsmen who devoted their lives to the environment and work together to improve it.

They believed in combining natural materials with well-made and workable equipment to produce high quality products at an affordable price. The most important thing about these amazing cabinets is that you can add the Shaker name to any cabinet or wardrobe if you want to.

The meaning of the name Shaker has changed over the years. In fact, today there are many variations on this theme but none of them are able to accurately represent the original settlers. The more common Shaker meaning of the name is simply 'folk of Shaker-town'.

It's hard to tell the real Shaker from the other folk who don't know the true meaning of the name. Even when you use the correct spelling, you may be given another variation which isn't exactly the Shaker meaning. Therefore, it's best to just use the Shaker spelling when talking to others.

It's always a good idea to find out the true Shaker meaning before you start using a Shaker style of cabinet or wardrobe. Don't give away the game because most Shaker owners would be willing to get you a cabinet if you have the proper intent.

Sometimes, the meaning of the Shaker names can change from one Shaker to the next. Mostof the time, however, the original meaning of the name remains unchanged and is also unchanged until today. There have been a few variations of the meaning and there is no universal Shaker meaning.

For example, the meaning for the word 'house' often uses the word 'frontier'. This meaning is very difficult to define but I'll try to do that here: A frontier is one that is covered by grassland or dense woodland.

The other two frontier meanings are 'point of interest'popular place'. In addition, you could also find meanings such as 'viewpoint', 'place of history', 'trendy display case', and even 'telephone booths'.

There are many ways that the Shaker-theme has been interpreted and the meaning has become more modern. A great example of the modern Shaker meaning is the Shaker 'bells' bell or 'honk'.

Some Shakers heard the honk while coming down the road and would stop and turn around. Others heard the honk when the postman dropped off their mail and wanted to know if there was anything else. Other Shakers honked when they were out hiking in the woods and needed some peace and quiet.

Of course, there are still many Shaker cabinets and other Shaker-style furniture that are constructed with the original spirit and purpose. They have a good combination of functionality and style that is ideal for your home.
