Located in New York, NY
Old Newbury Crafters sterling silver 119-piece flatware set for 12 in the Wilton pattern, retailed by Shreve, Crump & Low, beautifully and subtly hand-hammered, with heavy gage, in a style and quality similar to that of Georg Jensen, consisting of: - 16 dinner forks measuring 7 1/2'' in length - 12 luncheon forks measuring 7'' in length - 12 salad forks measuring 6 1/2'' in length - 12 flat butter spreaders measuring 5 1/2'' in length - 12 luncheon knives measuring 8 3/4'' in length - 12 dinner knives measuring 9 1/2'' in length - 12 teaspoons measuring 5 7/8'' in length - 12 bouillon spoons measuring 5 7/8'' in length - 12 oval soup spoons measuring 7 1/8'' in length - 5 tablespoons measuring 8 3/4'' in length - 1 cold meat fork measuring 8 1/8'' in length - 1 pie server measuring 8 3/4'' in length Each piece bears hallmarks as shown. Total weight is 157 troy ounces, including 1 troy ounce per knife. This Old Newbury Crafters is a celebrated American silversmith, known for creating high-quality, entirely handmade flatware.

Both men had worked at the Frank Smith Silver Company in Gardner, Massachusetts. After leaving there, MacBurnie went to work for Towle Silversmiths. When MacBurnie left Towle, he went to work full time at Old Newbury Crafters. In 1921, at the Art Institute of Chicago, at the Applied Arts Exhibition, the prize for original design in silverware was given to Old Newbury Crafters. In 1934, at the New York Society of Craftsmen, their work was exhibited at a show illustrating contemporary trends in American craft work. After many generations, Old Newbury Crafters is still active to this day. Their unique, extremely limited production is characterized by renowned hand-wrought (hand hammered) patterns. The process begins with a single bar of sterling silver. There is no stamping or cutting out of the sterling - the piece is forged with a five pound hammer on the polished surface of an anvil. As it is forged the silver hardens and must be heated by the Silversmith to soften it. It is fired to a glowing red and plunged into cold water. The hammering doesn't end when the piece is forged to shape; it is rehammered with a lighter planishing hammer to smooth out the heavy forging marks, leaving a subtle hammered texture. The hand-forged sterling silver flatware uses...
