This  FIRE SCREEN SET  is one part of this Southern Antique collector's possessions , who   back in the 1930's- 1950'd, this collector carefully  acquired antiques  and stored in for more than half of a century.  A Vintage  Newspaper article said."Maybe the collector didn’t even remember where it was stored or why he had saved it all those years. Maybe just because he liked it , with no use in mind. But the fact remains that, in depths of the Great Depression when the decorative features of razed residences might be had, at least, for carting them away at most, for a song. This collector did a lot of singing! His acquisitions, in any event are incorporated today in some of the old south’s pretentious homes.
