American Furniture 2024 continues to publish new research on furniture made in America. The first part of this volume contains two articles that each focus on a group of mid-eighteenth century seating furniture. The first was made in the vicinity of Edenton, North Carolina and its carved ornament and construction details are compared to contemporaneous interior architectural carving and several card and writing tables. The second identifies a group most likely made in a single shop in Annapolis, Maryland and discusses its influences, related forms, and possible makers. The remaining articles examine the products of specific cabinetmakers working in Salem, Massachusetts, Hartford, and Baltimore. In Salem, the evidence from a serpentine chest made by William King sheds light on several competing shops working during the late eighteenth century; the vitality of the town's cabinetmaking trade during the early nineteenth century is seen in the patronage of Mark Pitman by three generations of the Ropes-Orne family. Aaron Chapin's shop in Hartford is the subject of a study that explores the size, workers, range of products, and adaptability of a large and successful cabinetmaking business around the turn of the nineteenth century. Finally, the identification of the owner of a suite of colorfully painted furniture reveals that the acquisition of "fancy" furnishings made by the Finlay shop signaled not only economic success but acceptance within the political and social elite of early nineteenth-century Baltimore.

Ceramics in America 2024 continues to publish new research on ceramics made, used, or collected in America.

American Furniture 2023 includes new research on objects associated with Thomas Jefferson.

"Can one small group survive hostile enemies in a treacherous land? Waking broken and bloody, a woman finds herself lost, terrified, and alone. Stripped of everything--no possessions, no memory--she relies on instinct to survive. Larron of the Derou elves travels with a small messenger party to deliver an urgent message to his kin in the east. Along the way, they rescue a woman under attack by a pack of vicious insectoid creatures, only to discover she is more than she first seems. Cautiously joining forces, they must overcome hazardous terrain, predators, and enemy attacks to reach their allies. Will their combined skill be enough?"--

Articles in this 2021 volume explore new discoveries in Rhode Island furniture, objects associated with Jefferson's drafting of the Declaration of Independence, labor and memory in furniture, the redemption of a fake desk-and-bookcase, and the role of history, nostalgia, and trauma in marketing of a fraudulent secretary.
