The following lots are from the workshop of Walter J. Meyer (1912-1978). Meyer was among a select group of American silversmiths contracted to produce inventory for Georg Jensen USA, Inc. during the privations of the Second World War. A well researched and illustrated book on the subject, "The American Designs, Jensen Silver" by Nancy Schiffer and Janet Drucker, was published in 2008. Since 2004 we have had the good fortune to offer selections from the estate of Walter Meyer. The following lots represent some of the last remaining pieces of that collection. WALTER MEYER"S WORKSHOP THREE SILVER CANDLESTICKS #120 with scroll and bud columns, and ball and loop ornaments above flared foot, 29.3 OT. Taller two with Meyer cartouche, designs by Alphonse LaPaglia. Ht: 9 1/8", 8 5/8", 4 1/4".
