Late 18th Century Vizagapatum Ivory Set

This ivory 'Flame' set was probably made around 1780-1800 and features very fine and intricate carving on all pieces. It came with a compartmentalised period mahogony box with the original key bearing the name of the original owner (Rev. Halley) on an ivory plaque.  King 12cms, Pawn 7cms.
