Early American Furniture is an insightful survey of the stylistic and technical evolution of domestic furnishings in the United States. Written by Charles Over Cornelius, this work examines the trajectory of American cabinetry from the earliest settlements through the early nineteenth century. It provides a thorough analysis of how European influences were adapted and transformed by colonial artisans to meet the needs and tastes of a burgeoning nation.

The book delves into the specific characteristics of various periods, including the Pilgrim century, the Queen Anne style, and the Chippendale and Federal eras. By focusing on the craftsmanship and materials that defined these periods, Cornelius offers a window into the daily lives and cultural aspirations of early Americans. Detailed attention is given to the regional nuances that distinguish pieces from New England, the Middle Colonies, and the South.
