Allan Adler, founder of Allan Adler, Inc., was known as the "silversmith to the stars" for his celebrity clientele that ranged from Errol Flynn to Michael Jackson. From the time he began his career as an apprentice in 1938, Adler designed silverware and holloware in unadorned, geometric shapes inspired by the Modernist art movement of the early 1900s. After his name became associated with Hollywood glamour in the early 1940s, he was commissioned to design mini-Oscars for Academy Award winners and crowns for Miss Universe and Miss U.S.A. as well as silver bowls, candlesticks and goblets for his celebrity clients. In the 1950s, he began to attract political leaders and socialites. One special commission he was especially proud of came during John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign. Adler crafted a silver coffee urn to be used at a fund-raising event for Kennedy who was elected in 1960.
