Special Features

While Wendell is known for more mundane not too interesting flatware, much of which was acquired from Mauser, their Ariel pattern is a unique exception. It is one of the most attractive multi-motif figural settings in our collection, high quality and very heavy. It is one of those patterns that you acquire one piece at a time and feel lucky to do so. We just recently picked up two keys to the set, the knife and dinner fork after looking for over two years.

Ariel was first produced in 1895 like many of the other art nouveau figurals. Wendell was out of the flatware business by 1900, and I have not heard that the dies were sold to anyone else.
