01
Artifact Overview
Inspired by the Parisian gallery that gave the Art Nouveau style its name, designers at the Gorham Manufacturing Company in Providence, Rhode Island, developed the "Martele" line of high-end silver in the late 1890s. This pitcher's asymmetry, fluid lines, and botanical motifs were characteristic of European Art Nouveau.
