- William L. deMatteo, Mid-Century Modern Sterling Silver Coffee Kettle, ca. 1950sBy William Lawrence deMatteoLocated in New York, NYDimensions & weight: Height: 10.75 inches Width: 3-1/2 inches Depth: 5.25 inches Weight: 27.4 troy oz This wonderful sterling silver & wood coffee & tea kettle, made by the famous New York master-silversmith William Lawrence deMatteo, very delicately decorated with the sprouts of young sweet peas. Although at first glance, this object casts thoughts about Art Deco, the unusualness of organic decorative elements in combination with the traditional form certainly speaks of its explicit Mid-Century Modern design. William Lawrence deMatteo (American, 12 October 1923 - 14 May 1988), silversmith and master craftsman, was born in New York City and was the son of Elizabeth Rommelman deMatteo and William Gaitano [Gaetano] deMatteo, an accomplished silversmith who immigrated to the United States from Acciaroli, Salerno, Italy, with his family when he was a boy. William Lawrence deMatteo grew up in suburban Bergenfield, New Jersey, and attended schools in nearby Tenafly, all the while observing and absorbing his father's skillful work. DeMatteo began studying sculpture and fine arts at Columbia University in 1941, but after the United States entered World War II he joined the navy in November 1942 and served in the Pacific theater as a torpedo bomber pilot. On 14 November 1946, in Asbury Park, he married Jayne Walpole, a painter who later co-founded an art gallery. They had three daughters and one son. DeMatteo resumed his apprenticeship with his father and may have continued his studies at Columbia before being recalled to active duty with the navy during the Korean War. He was discharged in 1953. Bill deMatteo, as he was usually known, visited the restored capital of colonial Virginia while he was still in the service and asked to see the silversmith's shop. Told that Colonial Williamsburg had none, he saw an opportunity for himself. Soon after deMatteo left the navy, he returned to Williamsburg and in July 1953 joined the staff as a silversmith. He created the entire silversmith program and was responsible for the James Geddy Silversmith's Shop, where he trained shopkeepers in interpreting craftsmanship to visitors, instructed and supervised apprentices in all kinds of metalworking, and handcrafted reproductions of eighteenth-century silver items for sale in the shop. DeMatteo also revived colonial silversmith James Craig...Category
