Myer Myers (1723-1795) was a leading silversmith in New York City during the late colonial period, famous for his religious silver and refined English rococo style. He was Chairman of the Gold and Silver Smiths Society of New York in 1786. The society included distinguished members Ephraim Brasher and John Burger. Of particular note is the rarity of domestically produced Myers silver wares, with less than 400 documented objects known today.
