Purchased from the Long Island estate of the original owners, this stunning welded and polychromed steel Paul Evans dining table is one hundred percent original and a great example that's also pre-1970s. The psychedelic colors are vibrant, have a warm patina, and a nice satin sheen luster. The brass/bronze areas have the perfect golden hue. The original 3/4 inch thick glass top shows little to no wear, definitely no chips. This table is fresh to you from a time capsule and original owners home. 1970s iterations of this table tend to have darker finishes and less intricate, and therefore interesting, welded graphics. Note that this example has a welded signature and is dated "PE69." Also observe the welded pinwheel and striated sections. Tastefully filled with the colors that made the 60s synonymous with the psychedelic era. Please know that I have a number of Paul Evans pieces, some of which are currently published and others not. My collections includes: Sculptured Bronze custom wall unit...
