Rare pair of mid-1980s weighty silverplate-over-brass salt and pepper shakers designed by Modern Traditionalist architect Robert A.M. Stern for a Swid Powell series and made in Italy. A former dean at Yale's School of Architecture and head of his own 300-person firm, Stern (1939 - ) made his mark as a writer, educator, and designer who has bridged modern and contemporary American architecture with the historic and classical, adding "muscular" towers and homes to Manhattan, the Hamptons, Philadelphia and colleges, among other landscapes. The salt shaker has a bit of missing plate around the holes and contact markings on its sides (not scratches or dents). Each shaker measures 3" H x 1.5" W. Please see photos for more detail.
