Allan W. Adler (May 8, 1916 - December 3, 2002) His clean, unadorned and
well-crafted style was strongly influenced by the traditional work of early
American silversmiths and the contemporary work then being done in the Northern
European countries of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. It was a unique and
one-of-a-kind style of silversmithing.



Adler was an American silversmith, known as
"silversmith to the stars". Beginning his career as an apprentice in
1938, Adler designed silverware and hollowware in shapes
inspired by the Modernist art movement of the early 1900s. Adler learned the
craft of silversmithing from noted 5th generation silversmith Porter Blanchard,
one of the founders of the Arts and Crafts movement in California.


His name became associated
with Hollywood glamour in the early 1940s, and he was commissioned to
design mini-Oscars for Academy Award winners, crowns for Miss
Universe and Miss USA, and silver bowls, candlesticks and goblets for
celebrity clients including commissions for Michael Jackson, Paul Newman,
Presidents, and Astronauts. During John F. Kennedy's presidential
campaign, Adler crafted a silver coffee urn to be used at a fund-raising event.
