Up for sale is a museum-grade, heavy-gauge vintage Navajo masterpiece by the highly acclaimed silversmith Allen Chee. Weighing a substantial 58 grams, this statement cuff represents the absolute peak of Chee's early-career independent craftsmanship.
KEY COLLECTOR VALUE HIGHLIGHTS:
The Early Block Hallmark: Unlike later pieces that carry script fonts or shop logos, this reverse features the incredibly rare, crisp, straight-line "ALLEN CHEE" over "STERLING" block-font hand stamp. This specific font mark was used strictly in the earliest days of his independent work, making it highly prized by purists.
Verified 1987 Provenance: This piece carries a rock-solid single-owner backstory. It was purchased directly on the Navajo Reservation along the historic Route 66 corridor in January 1987.
Masterful Execution: Features a stunning, deeply dimensional 3D flying eagle in high relief. The eagle is flanked by intricate gold-filled floral fans, coiled scrolls, and heavy twisted sterling rope borders. The natural, uncleaned vintage patina creates an incredible contrast.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Complete structural integrity with zero loose elements. Deep, authentic oxidation
