Description
 

This lovely set of serving pieces is hand-wrought sterling silver. Beautifully crafted by Navajo artist Austin Wilson. Deeply struck stamping graces each end stem and around the edges of the spoon and fork. This lovely set measures 7 3/4" long, with the spoon portion measuring 2" wide and fork measuring 1 7/8" wide. Not hallmarked, but has strong attribution to Austin Wilson.

Austin Wilson was active between 1930 and 1950 and was known to have worked at Zuni for trader C. G. Wallace and Trader Charles Kelsey. Wilson's stamp-work was precise with superior craftsmanship in his work. He was a master jeweler from this early era. Wilson was especially known for ashtrays, bar-ware and other decorative utensils.
