Robbe & Berking: Martelé

Tray 21 x 31 cm

A great host serves more than drinks – they create a moment

There are occasions when a table becomes more than a practical surface. A slow breakfast on a Sunday morning. An espresso shared after dinner. A cocktail that signals the beginning of a relaxed evening. The Martelé Tray by Robbe & Berking was designed for precisely these moments. Measuring 21 x 31 cm, it offers generous space for drinks, pastries, preserves, small dishes or carefully selected bar accessories while bringing an unmistakable sense of refinement to any setting.

The tray features the distinctive Martelé finish that gives the collection its name. Derived from the French word for “hammered”, Martelé refers to a traditional silversmithing technique in which every surface is carefully shaped by hand. The result is a textured pattern reminiscent of gentle waves across the sea. Light dances across the silver-plated surface, creating a remarkable interplay of reflection, depth and movement.

From breakfast table to home bar

Its versatile size makes the Martelé Tray an elegant companion for many occasions. It serves beautifully as a breakfast tray, a presentation surface for jams and pastries or a sophisticated serving piece for aperitifs and cocktails. Within a home bar setting, it provides a stylish foundation for champagne goblets, long drink tumblers or fine spirits.

Beyond serving, it also works wonderfully as a decorative object. Candles, fragrance accessories and treasured design pieces gain an elegant stage that enhances their presence without overpowering them. This balance between functionality and beauty is what makes the tray so enduringly appealing.

Silversmithing tradition from Flensburg

Since 1874, Robbe & Berking has been recognised as one of the world's leading names in silver craftsmanship. Still family-owned today, the Flensburg-based manufactory continues to create exceptional pieces through traditional expertise, meticulous workmanship and uncompromising quality standards.

The Martelé collection showcases this heritage particularly beautifully. Its softly sculpted hammered texture captures and reflects light with extraordinary brilliance, highlighting silver’s natural luminosity in a way few materials can achieve. Every piece feels both timeless and alive.

Made for moments worth remembering

The Martelé Tray 21 x 31 cm pairs perfectly with other pieces from the Robbe & Berking Bar Collection, including cocktail bowls, long drink tumblers, champagne goblets and wine cups. Together they create a sophisticated bar setting that feels both contemporary and enduring.

Yet even on its own, this tray makes a quiet statement. It reflects an appreciation for craftsmanship, quality and thoughtful design. A piece for those who choose carefully, entertain generously and understand that lasting style is rarely loud. Sometimes it simply arrives on a beautifully crafted tray.
