DISCOVERED in a general house valuation and offered by Bournemouth saleroom House & Son (17.5% buyer’s premium) on January 24 was this early 19th century Anglo-Indian ivory sewing box, right.
Modelled as a Calcutta home and made in Vizagapatam, the 6in (15cm) wide box, containing a sandalwood fitted tray, had suffered minor damage and the lid had become detached.
