Shaker Authentic 1878 - Shaker Style Corn Brooms made on our antique broom winder and press. This is our lightweight kitchen size broom. Extra full and thick broomcorn sweep, but not too heavy. The broom features a genuine American oak handle, smooth and comfortable in the hands.
Our Shaker Authentic was recently featured in Architectural Digest 2022!
In stock and ready to ship.
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

Great broom! I am using it daily for the kitchen.
Gorgeous and perfectly useful! I was concerned it might be more for looks than purpose, but it’s both!!
This is a lovely,lightweight broom for my back porch. Just what I wanted and handmade in my own state of Washington.
Well made old school broom!
Excellent handmade quality, like nothing that could be purchased in a chain store. A pleasure to use, light weight and great for smaller feminine hands. It is really very special. Thank you Thank you Thank you
This was just wonderful. Thank you.
This broom was well-packaged and the quality is very nice. It looks great. Thank you!
looks just like photo. Heavy oldtime wooden broom
So light to use, cleans large area easier than synthetic broom and smart looking. Wanted to try to hang and love the narrow profile while hanging. Thanks guys!
The broom is beautiful and so well made. It’s also extremely functional.
Our family loves this broom! Looks great hanging on a hook right in our main living space and works great :-)
I love my new broom!! It's the perfect size for me and I can see that it was made with skill and care ❤️
Beautiful broom. I'll enjoy this for many years to come.
Clearly well made, works well in addition to being good looking enough to leave it on display in our kitchen. Now I just need to get a matching dust pan!

Good product great service and quality
This broom is hefty and beautiful. I hate to use it because it’s so pretty but then again I love to use it because it’s so pretty! If you have made the commitment to surround yourself with quality, small US business made, and natural items as I have, you should definitely spring for this broom when your plastic one frays out. Also it smells amazing! Couldn’t be happier!
The broom arrived quickly and in excellent condition.
Beautiful broom and works well.

Beautiful! And a pleasure to sweep with.
Absolutely gorgeous and functional broom!! Vintage style, hand crafted home goods are really underrated, and this one delivers
These guys are true artisans in the truest sense. Not in the anyone on Etsy is automatically an artisan. Traditional American craftsman. Instant heirloom
So beautiful and well crafted!

Photo with hiking staff measuring 52.5” custom made. Serendipity but so nice.
Perfectly pleased! The quality and craftsmanship was better than I expected. After it arrived, I went back to remind myself exactly who made what I purchased. Another happy bit of info, my broom is made by a husband-wife team. Happy to spend my money here! I chose well!

Perfect for my Halloween costume and to keep for functional use!
Sweeps well and is a nice size.

Perfect broom. I highly recommend.
