79.49.1.1Description
Screen - fire, iron with serpent-like figures forming the frame in three sections, curled iron design on screen. (Note from David Clark 02/15/1998: The notation from the original cataloger of 11/18/1993 was "Screen was used in Mabel (Merle?) Normand's house." Presumably the cataloger meant 1920s movie star Mabel Normand, who according to Microsoft Bookshelf lived from 1894 to 1930. The cataloger seems to have confused Normand with 1940s movie star Merle Oberon, who lived from 1911 to 1979.)Lexicon
