In 1936 Adler joined the U.S. Treasury’s Division of Monetary Research and Statistics, working closely with Harry Dexter White.

Solomon Adler出生於英格蘭里茲的一個猶太家庭，家族原籍白俄羅斯。他曾就讀於Oxford和University College London主修經濟學，後於1935年前往美國從事研究工作。1936年，Adler加入了美國財政部的Division of Monetary Research and Statistics，並與Harry Dexter White密切合作。1940年，他成為美國公民，翌年被派往中國擔任財政部代表，任職至1948年。在此期間，他收集了中國家具，形成了其收藏。1950年，Adler辭職並返回英國，在Cambridge University任教。1960年代初期，Adler再次移居中國，並一直居住至1994年於北京逝世。離開英國前，他將自己的財產轉交給弟弟，即現藏家之父。Solomon Adler的弟弟於1965年首次訪問中國，並在1977年「四人幫」倒台後又多次再度訪華。
cf. Plank-top tables were composed of demountable components, making them easy to transport and configure. Often over time these components were separated from each other either to serve as different functional items of furniture or to be used in the repair of other pieces of furniture. As such, surviving examples are quite rare. A separate, single pedestal dated to the 17th century was sold at Bonhams, London, in Fine Chinese Art, 12-13 May 2022, lot 53.
