VICTORIAN William 5th sewing box circa 1820, made of
coromandel wood (also called calamander wood or Macassar ebony) from the
Islands of South America or Africa. The inside is fitted out with small
boxes and lids lined in a nice red fabric, as well as two pull-out
needle cases, one with vintage needles in it. This could be used as a
