Paul Evans

Acquired directly from the Paul Evans Studio, New Hope, PA
Private Collection, Philadelphia
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall very good original condition. The surfaces of the patinated base have retained large amounts of their original coloration, however the overall surface of the table displays discoloration and oxidation, as seen the catalogue illustration. Some of the present surface treatment is a result of the design aesthetic of the work and not the result of a condition issue. With surface dirt scattered throughout. The glass top with some minor surface scratches. The top of the table appears to be in correct proportion to the base. Please note the measurements of this lot, as this table is small in scale. This lot is being offered with an invoice from the original purchase, which includes a drawing of the table.
