Round Candle Table

Also called Candlestands as this was their main function. The classic tripod design, with arched legs, was originally in the New Lebanon Community between 1830—1840.

Peg Rail

The Shakers used peg rails around many of their corridors and rooms. Most of their moveable items were designed for hanging from the rail, so they could keep their floors clean and uncluttered.
