Gorham Manufacturing Company
b. 1831
Gorham Manufacturing Company is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This American silversmith company made everyday luxury objects around 1900. Their Martelé line, like the coffee service and sugar bowl, shows hammered silver with deep, woven textures. The Seashell Salt from 1884 pairs a ridged shell dish with a tiny crab-shaped spoon.
These pieces belong to the Arts and Crafts era, when makers prized handwork over factory polish. Curious about silver with a rough, natural look? Tap to see the Martelé Coffee Service up close.
