A rare and important original Paul Evans Cityscape chrome plated steel floating console and mirror frame — signed "An Original Paul Evans" — the companion piece to our Paul Evans Cityscape headboard (FUR-061), both acquired from the same source and almost certainly from the same original bedroom suite. Together these two pieces represent an exceptional and increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a partial Paul Evans Cityscape bedroom suite with documented signatures on both pieces.

Paul Evans (1931–1987) is one of the most significant American furniture designers and sculptor-craftsmen of the postwar era. His Cityscape series — the iconic tessellated chrome and brass patchwork inspired by the Manhattan skyline — is among the most actively collected American design work of the 20th century. Complete Cityscape bedroom suites have achieved auction records exceeding $99,000 at Wright, Rago, and Phillips. The mirror frame alone — at a dramatic 72 inches tall — is one of the most striking elements of the Cityscape suite.

Please note: the mirror frame is sold without the original mirror glass. A custom mirror can be cut to fit at modest cost, restoring the piece to full presentation.

This console and mirror frame, together with our matching Cityscape headboard (FUR-061), forms a significant partial Paul Evans Cityscape bedroom suite — both signed, both from the same source. These pieces are substantially more valuable together than separately, and a buyer acquiring both would own a documented, multi-piece Evans Cityscape grouping of real importance.

Pickup & Shipping: Local pickup preferred given the scale of the mirror frame (72" tall). For buyers requiring shipping, we recommend specialist fine art furniture shippers. Please contact us prior to purchase.
