A large and heavy wrought iron and brass fireplace screen with 3 natives figures in bronze 1 dancing , 1 playing a flute and 1 reclining. The figures are on a background jungle scene with foliage and large mushrooms. The screen was a gift to my parent from a former vaudevile star stage name "Mamie Harnish".
The screen was a gift to her from her friend Rudolph Valentinos wife after returning from a trip to Egypt.
Mamie (real name Mary Davis) was in her 90's when she gave the screen to my parents. I have three photos of the screen and copies of sheet music covers featuring Mamie Harnish. The screen is in very good condition with some minor surface rust at the front bottom.
Good
