I came upon this listing a little while ago, and thought I'd share:

Wow - beautiful. What would be accepted in barter I wonder ?

5 K though ,, wow ! You can figure almost any installation would require some modification. It's nice for sure but really 5k?

Price is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned since I have no interest in it other than the visuals. The seller probably imagines that there are more than a handful of people who even know who Rosalind (spelled this way) Russell was, much less care that her father practiced law in Waterbury, Connecticut - and considers this wall to have deep cultural significance. Elvis's Cadillac it ain't.

Elvis's Cadillac it ain't.

It is a fine room divider but the provenance is well, underwhelming.

Very expensive for CL, though a steal at big city architectural salvage store prices. I forget where I saw it but there was a story on some real fancy pants place in NYC that sold $ 20,000 antique medical cabinets, etc. and other refuse from fine homes and institutions.
