Looking at two pieces of furniture, one Shaker and one Mission, what would

Shaker is hand work trying to look like machine work, Craftsman is

I thought the Shakers did not eschew the use of machinery; they did shun
ostentation in their products. That's why you see wood knobs, lack of
carvings, etc.
