| This is a gorgeous and unique silver tray by the premier American silversmiths at Gorham from its renowned Martelé line. This square tray has a wonderful sculptural, curved border that is organically shaped to embody Art Nouveau curves. The sinuous lines of the tray are echoed in the subtle decoration of tendrils and scrolls that emphasize the bulging curves and provide decorative accents at each corner. Like all Martelé objects, this piece was handmade by Gorham’s most distinguished craftsman and has a rich original patina and finish. This further enhances the naturalistic decoration and the tactile quality of the silver. This tray is in excellent condition and shows Gorham’s remarkable craftsmanship and originality of design. It measures approx. 12” square, and is marked on the reverse with the Gorham maker’s mark, 950-1000 FINE, pattern number 14 71, 12 IN, and the date symbol for 1899. This beautiful antique silver tray is a wonderful piece from Gorham’s most lauded line that is truly museum quality. A very rare silver tray that is a beautiful as it is collectible.
