An early Paul Evans and Phillip Lloyd Powell Studio screen or room divider in three panels featuring a welded steel fish scale pattern decorated with aluminum metal-leaf and black “ink.” The American black walnut frame is finished with an off-white strié paint. 

The screen is an original commission from long-time Evans/Powell Studio client Mrs. Berman, who commissioned multiple pieces by Evans and Powell for her home. Accompanied with a letter of authentication signed by Dorsey Reading, Evans’ studio foreman. May be flat mounted or used as a freestanding screen. A similar example is documented on page 94 of Todd Merrill’s book, Modern Americana: Studio Furniture From High Craft to High Glam.

In excellent original condition.
