1937 - 1964 |
Imperial
Hotel Silverware. 26 Pieces. Dated from
1937 with the last piece dated 1964. The logo and
date are stamped on the back of each piece of silverware.
According to Thomas A. Heinz in
The Vision
of Frank Lloyd Wright: A complete guide to the designs of an architectural genius.,
page 412, there are no known examples in drawings or in actuality of any silver sets of
knives, forks and spoons made for the hotel or other locations. If you take a look
at the Imperial Hotel Restaurant Guide Detail, you will
be able to specifically notice the unique shape of the crooked end of the knife.
This
silverware was purchased this from a woman who picked it up at a garage sale in New
Jersey. Additional
