Provenance:The Adler Family Collection.
Solomon Adler was born in Leeds, England, into a Jewish family originally from Belarus. He studied economics at Oxford and University College London before moving to the U.S. in 1935 for research. In 1936 Adler joined the U.S. Treasury’s Division of Monetary Research and Statistics, working closely with Harry Dexter White. In 1940 he became a U.S. citizen and in the following year was assigned to China as Treasury representative, serving there until 1948. It is during this period that he assembled his collection of Chinese furniture. In 1950 he resigned and returned to the U.K., teaching at Cambridge University. In the early 1960s Adler moved back to China where he lived until his death in Beijing in 1994. Before leaving the U.K. he passed his possessions to his brother, the father of the present owner. Solomon Alder's brother visited China for the first time in 1965, then a number of additional times after the fall of the 'Gang of Four' in 1977.
