Sam and Myrna Myers are first-generation Americans, who shared a taste for collecting beautiful objects of art. On a trip to Ascona, Switzerland, the couple stumbled into a small antique shop which started their journey of collecting antiques. When Sam Myers was sent to Paris by his law firm in the mid-1960s, he and his wife Myrna became so enamored with the city that they decided to make it their home. There, over the course of 50 years, they built an extraordinary art collection, and in 1976, Myrna opened a gallery in Paris specializing in Asian art. Their collection spans a wide range of precious objects from Chinese jades, ceramics, textiles, Indian carvings, to Japanese clothing and lacquer, some of which was exhibited in the Kimbell Art Museum. Part of their collection was sold at Sotheby's, London 'Two Americans in Paris, The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers', on 4 November 2021. The couple also worked together with jade expert Filippo Salviati to create one of the most outstanding jade collections globally and authored several books on jade, including 'Radiant Stones' (2000), 'The Language of Adornment' (2002) and 'Genese de l'empire celeste' (2020).Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, few minuscule losses to exposed areas, little nibbling, signs of weathering and erosion, and soil encrustations.
