Title
Specializing in Martele silver by Gorham as well as other fine American and Continental sterling
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Martele is a limited production line of fine silver that was fabricated under the direction of William Christmas Codman by the Gorham Silver Company of Providence, Rhode Island. The line began in the late 19th century, and was continued until the 1930s. Each piece is different in that they were individually designed, and then hand raised (made) and chased (decorated) which by nature produces uniqueness, where no two pieces can be the same. The hammer was the tool of manufacture, and very little machine work was utilized in the process of completing the Martele. The hammering produced a certain look, a surface that “is the soft misty finish of innumerable little hammer blows, overlapping each upon each like fairy footprints upon moonlit sands” (Stuart, 1912).
