Old Newbury Crafters is a celebrated American silversmith, known for creating high-quality, entirely handmade flatware. Old Newbury Crafters began business in 1915 as a partnership between "spoonman" Elmer Senior and "polisher" Albert MacBurnie. 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...

Lunt Silversmiths Sterling Silver
Enamel Christmas Ornament – 1978
By Lunt Silver
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This charming Christmas ornament, produced by Lunt Silversmiths in 1978, showcases the company’s exceptional artistry in combining fine sterling silver with rich, hand-applied enamel. Lunt—one of America’s most respected silver manufacturers—was known for its meticulous craftsmanship and elegant holiday collectibles, and this ornament exemplifies those qualities beautifully.
Design
Materials
The ornament features a round central medallion framed by an elaborate openwork sterling silver border. The frame is delicately pierced with symmetrical scrolls and stylized motifs that give the piece a refined, lace-like appearance. Crafted in solid sterling silver, the frame carries a highly polished finish that enhances its decorative elegance.
At the center of the ornament is a colorful enameled wreath, detailed with deep green holly leaves, bright red berries, and a festive red bow. The enamel work is crisp and vivid, adding cheerful contrast to the silver setting. At the heart of the wreath is a silhouette-like central cartouche, creating a dimensional layered effect that draws the eye to the ornament’s focal point.
Reverse Side
Markings
The back of the piece is neatly engraved with:
“1978”
“Merry Christmas” in elegant script
“Sterling Frame by Lunt”
These inscriptions authenticate the ornament as an original 1978 Lunt release and confirm the sterling silver composition of the frame. The smooth reverse surface further highlights the craftsmanship and care typical of Lunt’s holiday pieces.
Symbolism
Appeal
The holly wreath—an enduring emblem of Christmas tradition—symbolizes welcome, festivity, and the enduring spirit of the season. The addition of rich enamel brings warmth and color, making the ornament a standout display piece whether on a Christmas tree, in a shadow box, or as part of a curated sterling silver ornament collection.
Collectibility
As a dated ornament produced during the height of Lunt’s collectible silver era, the 1978 edition holds strong appeal for collectors of vintage sterling Christmas...
