Cabinet
From the 1740s the introduction of mahogany from the West Indies and Central America became very popular, in particular the flamed curl veneers. John Ellicott (1706-1772) produced many clocks in this style, of which the ``Kensington'' is a typical example. The brreak-arch solid mahogany cabinet features reeded quarter columns to the trunk and fluted ``Corinthian'' pillars to the hood. The dial features the phases of the moon believed to be of benefit to seafarers and farmers.
