The Shaker chair is iconic. But what do we know about the people who made it?

Thomas Merton once said, “The peculiar grace of a Shaker chair is due to the fact that it was made by someone capable of believing that an angel might come and sit on it.” The elegant object was created by a religious sect founded in Manchester, England, in the 1700s. Formally known as the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, the group earned the name “Shakers”(not to be confused with the Quakers) for the ecstatic dances that were part of their worship.

Diadém není koruna. Koruna náleží panovníkům — nosí ji britský král při korunovaci nebo zahájení parlamentu, a jen tehdy. Diadém je jiná věc. Může ho nosit kdokoliv. Jeho kořeny sahají do starověku, kdy věnec zdobil čelo vítězného atleta nebo válečníka. Dnes ho nejspíše spatříme na hlavě příslušnice evropské aristokracie. Pozoruhodný diadém patřící baronce Clarice de Rothschild z rakouské větve bankovní rodiny je vystaven v bostonském Muzeu výtvarných umění (Museum of Fine Arts Boston).

By then, though, I was in on the secret. Three other people had also mentioned Nelle sightings that day.
