Made true to the era, our Authentic 1878 Shaker Kitchen Broom is a scaled down version of our popular 1878 porch and floor broom. These brooms are meticulously hand-crafted the old way, using antique equipment from the late 19th century. We are proud to offer these durable brooms, and to carry on this tradition right here in our shop.

These brooms are made from 1 lb. of North American broom corn, with an American sourced hardwood handle. The durable sweep is stitched flat by hand with three rows of chocolate waxed linen twine, with a matching brown leather loop for hanging. Perfectly balanced in the hands -- functional and pleasing to the eye.

The overall length of the broom is approximately 55". The sweep is 10" wide, with soft bristles, long, full, and flexible. Perfect for reaching the nooks and crannies in the kitchen -- a broom from yesterday, to last many years.  Also available with black walnut, cherry, and hickory handles.  Made in USA.

We have a strong passion for brooms - creating them, learning about them, and using them. Each broom we offer is built by hand using 1800's methods borrowed from the Shakers. In our small workshop in the Pacific Northwest, we weave them one at a time. Every broom is unique, and designed to last for many years. Our ambition is to offer brooms of the finest craftsmanship -- and give each one our personal guarantee of quality.

Our best wishes
