Piece Dates i From 1946 .

By JEAN TABBERT “DURING THE siege of Granada in the year 1496, King Ferdinand and Queen rulers of Spain. ‘Queen Isabella, accompanied by a guard of soldiers, went out near a- section called Zubia . where they were - near the Moors, “The Moors saw the Queen and her guard and made an attempt to surround them. The Queen hid in a clump of bushes and prayed she might be saved from capture. In her prayers she said she would found a convent or order if the Moors were dispersed. “Her prayers were ‘answered and after the siege she ordered a convent to be founded near the spot in 1496.” That's the story on the ma-= hogany and ebony cabinet in the home of Mrs, Morris | Schwartz, 1104 Union St. It's a much-traveled piece—from | 13th century Spain to England | and thence to Indianapolis, | USA. : The cabinet is part:-of an art collection Mrs. Schwartz brought with her from London. | "It was the only way she could | legally transport more money “than the set sum English taw permits citizens to take from the country.

mirrors. Some ancient lady used it to hold her. prayer statues, opened it daily for meditation.

A resident of Portsmouth, England, for 21 years, Mrs. Schwartz came here with her husband and daughter, Yolanda, two years ago. They made two stops, first in New York, then Grand Rapids, Mich. he-~ fore they arrived in Indianapolis. She's hoping to sell the art objects—everything from paintings to china and glassware, Fine examples of Meissen, Italfan majolica, Sevres, -Royal Worcester and Moravian glass —t0 mention.onlv a few—are

, owned by Mrs, Schwartz.

There's also an ebony wall plaque complete with medallions of the Roman Caesars from Julius Caesar to. Tiberius. Pepi. Schwartz is a native Hungarian. She’s been an art devotee ever since childhood, gathering most of her knowledge from the wide reading she did in the many languages So it took her only two months to collect the things she bought in antique shops and art galleries abroad. The future transactions are part of the curent flow of art goods from England and the continent—80 per cent of which are coming to the United States and Canada.
