Following the Arts & Crafts movement in England, William Codman (Gorham's chief designer) introduced a new range of silverware. The pieces were to be in the Art Nouveau style and with a hammered finish: the French word martelé can be translated as 'hammered'.
First shown at a New York exhibition in 1897 and internationally at the 1900 Paris Exposition, the pieces achieved great praise.
