we call bedrooms, the Shakers called "retiring rooms". At the Great
Stone Dwelling in the Enfield,

this one, one or two candle stands, a hanging sconce, and perhaps a mirror.
The design of this piece is typical of the refined work of the Enfield
Shakers. Clear hard maple, with drawer interior of pine.
