DAVIS QUADRANT.
“Made by William Williams in King St. Boston.” An ivory plate has “Malachi Allen 1768.” Mahogany, 24 inches long, convex glass in the shade vane; fine example of cabinet work. In Peabody Museum, Salem.
The Davis quadrants were usually made of ebony, rosewood, or other dark woods, with boxwood scale-arcs and could be made by expert wood-workers. The numerous examples preserved attest the skill of the old cabinet-makers, for they are never warped or twisted while their jointing is a Chinese puzzle.
