FUR-061 Paul Evans — Signed "Cityscape" Chrome Plated Steel Headboard, Original, 62" × 36.5"

A rare and important original Paul Evans Cityscape chrome plated steel headboard — signed "An Original Paul Evans" — one of the most collectible and instantly recognizable designs in the history of American mid-century modern furniture. A genuine signed piece from one of the 20th century's most significant American designer-craftsmen.

Paul Evans (1931–1987) is widely regarded as one of the most original and influential American furniture designers and sculptors of the postwar era. His Cityscape series — inspired by the Manhattan skyline and characterized by its distinctive geometric mosaic of chrome and brass patchwork — is among the most collected American mid-century design work of the 20th century. Evans pieces are held in major museum collections and sell regularly at Wright, Rago, Phillips, and Christie's. His Cityscape bedroom suites have achieved auction records exceeding $99,000 for complete sets.

The signature "An Original Paul Evans" is the definitive authentication mark used by Evans on his studio pieces — its presence here transforms this from a decorative object into a documented work by one of America's most important designer-craftsmen.
