Achille Gamba (1881–1944) was an Italian artist and designer, known mainly for his pewter works in the Art Nouveau style. He was an artist, specialized in pewter processing, and designer of furnishings and tableware. His creations are predominantly in the Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines and naturalistic depictions or depictions of female figures. He produced a variety of objects, including plates, trays, corkscrews, stoups and pocket watch stands. He was active from the late 19th to the early 20th century, particularly around 1900-1925. His works are still highly sought after on the antique and art market, often sold at auction as collectible items.
