Styles of Amish Furniture



Mission and Shaker are two styles of chairs well known to anyone who knows anything about Amish furniture. Characterized by straight lines and exposed joinery gives the Mission style chair it’s modern sleek look although it has been a ongoing chair style for many years. The Shaker style chair is characterized by its simplicity, function, and durability. These are just two of the various styles of Amish chairs. Other styles available are the Queen Anne, Southwestern, Rustic, Cottage, and even Beachfront.

Amish styles of furniture are developed throughout time within families of woodworkers. The traditions are handed down throughout generations and many Amish families become known for their specific design details. Some families may only focus on outdoor furniture, where as another may be dedicated to kitchen tables and chairs, and others on chest of drawers, etc. What adds to the value of Amish furniture is that no two pieces will ever be identical. The care taken in hand choosing the wood specific to the piece being created adds to the uniqueness of each piece. The woodworkers personal traditions carried down through their families also accent each piece’s style as well as the love of the craft that the Amish have can be seen in each piece.

There are many styles of Amish furniture, a style for every taste, for every household, a style for every style.

  1. Love the claw feet, but this is a bit to delicate for my decor. The rustic is more my flare. Maybe due to my husband being an avid hunter and the Queen Ann doesn't go well with Deer antler mountings. LOL!
