Allan Adler (1916-2002) is a celebrated American silversmith who learned his art from another great California silversmith, Porter Blanchard, in the late 1930s. Adler developed a strong following among many Hollywood celebrities (even hosting Katherine Hepburn at his workbench as an apprentice), presidents, museum curators, and silver collectors. He described his work as "clean lines with a bent toward the unconventional."
From the Estate of the late Faye Joseph, collected throughout London, Paris, Montecito.
