Some of these patterns are just genius... The palette and the visual balance. What kind of professionals were employed designing these? Commercial artists/illustrators?

They did indeed bring in artists to design ties for the post war period until about the mid-fifties. They actually had to as they were running out of new ideas in house. Ties were flying off the shelf so fast in those days. There were collectors who amassed huge collections. Actor Danny Kaye was one of them.
You will see ties signed by famous artists and designers too. A Dali tie brings quite a bit nowadays. You would also see designers such as Tina Leser and Countess Mara in the mix. This was the period where designer labels started.

Don't forget Schiaparelli...There is a WWII vet whose photo is in one of the tie books, and he's shown designing ties with his young daughter.
