This 1937 drawing by John W. Kelleher depicts a Shaker Cabinet. The cabinet features a glass-door upper section with a lower section of six drawers. The simple design and functional form are characteristic of Shaker furniture, known for its clean lines and practical purpose. This cabinet is a good example of the Shaker aesthetic, which emphasizes utility and craftsmanship over ornamentation.
