Rare Custom Order Paul Evans Leather & Steel Cabinet or Credenza Late 1970s

About the Item

Designed and made by Paul Evans and Paul Evans Studio, this piece was made in the late 1970s, years after the widespread fame of his other iconic lines and his work with Directional. At this stage, Evans was trying to modernize and move into the new post-modern era, and this cabinet is a glimpse of what might have been if he had not passed. This cabinet retains a level of quality that rivals the outgoing models at the time. Clad entirely in leather, it exudes simplicity, with fewer bells and whistles but still retains touches that set it apart. The laminate top is offset by around an inch like the slate and travertine topped cabinets, and it seems that Evans couldn't help himself with the door handles, fashioning them out of solid brushed stainless steel. The expertise in custom one-off work continues inside, where 4 doors open to reveal 4 spacious shelves ready to hold anything from plateware to books. The doors are held on with high-quality hinges and the leather stitching throughout is extremely well done. See especially the leather on the interior of the doors and the corners at the top of the piece. This cabinet is perfect for the user who loves a fantastic quality piece and the pedigree of the Evans name with rarity to rival even the one-off Argente pieces. This model has been verified as an authentic custom order by Dorsey Reading himself. In very nice condition. No rips or tears to the leather, and if there is staining, we certainly could not find it after close inspection. Interior clean and everything working as normal and as expected. On high-quality wheels for easy movement, as this piece is extremely heavy.
