Treasures hidden in the house of the world-famous writer Agatha Christie will be exhibited on October 8 at the jewelry auction Bonhams, reports Rapaport referring to the press release of the auction house.
In Greenway (Greenway) is the house where Agatha Christie grew up. Even many years after Christie left this house, he continues to discover new secrets.
In 2006, a fan of Agatha Christie took part in the sale of things from a house in Greenway, buying for $ 168 (GBP 100) a travel trunk belonging to the writer's mother. She could not even imagine that the chest contains family jewelry worth $ 17,000 (GBP 10,000).
In the chest was found boxing, the keys to which were considered lost. Boxing remained closed for several years.
Four years later, at the opening of the box, gold coins, a diamond brooch and a ring with three diamonds were found.
In the biography of Agatha Christie it is mentioned that these ornaments were to be inherited by Agatha and her sister Madge from her mother.
A diamond brooch from the 19th century will be auctioned at $ 10,000- $ 13,500, while the pre-auction estimate of the diamond ring is $ 5,000- $ 8,300.
