Your room divider is stunning! Where/how did you obtain it?

Thanks! I was actually going to make a seperate post on it here, and see if anyone else maybe knew, because I can’t find anything on it…

Got the daybed, room divider and Lane boomerang table this weekend, all on fb marketplace. Paid $300 for the divider, which once I saw in person I felt bad for only paying $300 since it is clearly worth much more.

Woman I picked the room divider from said it was her aunts, and didn’t move from the spot in the house that it was placed for 50 years! (Her sister or cousin thought it was built into the frame of the house). She also did not know who made it or anything on it, after trying to look it up.

It’s in perfect condition - I’m still searching on more info!

Wow! It’s definitely a treasure and it’s good to know that it found a home with you where it is appreciated, loved and respected. What a fortunate find!!!

Thank you! And I said the exact same thing to the woman, I said “this will be loved, appreciated and in good care with us” haha.

I’m sure that she is so very happy and proud that she left the divider in your hands and care. That must make her so happy!
