Robert Woodman
American, 1908 - 1983
In fact, Woodman was for many years noted architect John Gaw Meem's tinsmith creating numerous chandeliers and light fixtures for homes and public buildings designed by Meem. Trained as an engineer at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, he was the most exacting tinsmith in his crafting of objects and was capable of creating very large scale lighting fixtures for churches, libraries and courthouses. He was active from the mid-30s until about 1970. In later years, he rarely sold work and often created only parts using templates.
