William Kendrick (1810–1880) was a prominent Louisville, Kentucky silversmith and jeweler who began his career after apprenticing locally. He was active by the early 1830s, working both independently and in partnerships such as Kendrick & Harris and Lemon & Kendrick. Over several decades he operated jewelry and silver businesses at multiple Louisville addresses, producing and retailing coin silver flatware and hollowware. In the later phase of his career, from about 1873 until his death in 1880, he partnered with his son William Carnes Kendrick under the name Wm. Kendrick & Son.

Good estate condition, some minor denting to the tablespoon bowl.
