Rare and important wall mounted mirror in bronze resin with enameled steel elements by Paul Evans Studio for Directional Furniture, American 1969 (signed and dated “PE 69” on the side). We have the matching wall mounted cabinet available for purchase. This series is rare and this mirror is extremely rare. This piece was created from a mixture of epoxy resin and sand applied to a plywood base and sculpted into various swirls, drips and other patterns. Once hardened, the piece was sandblasted, sprayed with an atomized bronze finish, varnished, blown with a torch to provide a smoky look, polished, and then varnished again. The resulting work has a metallic sheen but is lightweight compared with something made of cast bronze. This is a work of art by one of the most important 20th century designers. (Photo shows mirror with matching wall cabinet, also available.)
