Simple Gifts: Shaker At The Met The United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, also known as the Shakers, is a utopian religious sect that rose to prominence in the 19th century. The simplicity and utility for which Shaker apparel, furniture, and architecture are known stem from the sect’s religious beliefs and customs, which stress social, gender, economic, and spiritual equality for all members. “Simple Gifts: Shaker at The Met,” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, will feature more than two dozen examples of primarily mid19th-century furniture, textiles, and domestic objects by Shaker craftspeople. Many of the works came to The Met from the collection of Faith and Edward Deming Andrews, leading collectors and scholars of Shaker culture from the 1930s
