Adrian Pearsall (1925-2011)
A Brutalist credenza for Craft Associates, circa 1970s
Appears unmarked
After Paul Evan's 'Goop' cabinet design, the four-door credenza with wood carcass, applied bronze-colored, faux patinated resin slathered onto the wood surface, layered up and incised to create various Brutalist geometric designs, and adjustable shelving to the interior; set upon a patinated metal plinth base, 2 pieces
On base: 32" H x 84" W x 21.75" D

Overall good condition with scattered scuffs, scratches, nicks, shrinkage cracks, indentations, and separation at joints commensurate with age. Rubbed wear to the highpoints of the decoration throughout, concentrated on the underside. As well, the cabinet doors are slow to open. Drilling to the verso indicates this cabinet may have been wall-mounted previously and the metal base may be a later addition. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
