Edward H. Bohlin is renowned and revered as one of the finest silversmiths & premier craftsman of the Hollywood Cowboy era. His parade saddles, especially those from 1920-50's, were without equal, as were the 1 pieces he created for his favorite clients, such as sterling/gold buckles, and occasionally unique pieces made only by request. This simple yet elegant coffee service was made with the usual Bohlin flawless eye, for a Palm Springs family. Originally from Chicago, the two daughters still remember their parents' relationship with Ed, and the fun they had dressing up like little cowgirls when they visited. Bohlin made pieces for the Hollywood cowboys when they reigned supreme yet always found time for special pieces like this, for his friends.
