Because of the overall intricate pattern, it is almost impossible to detect these little dents, and are generally only seen when truly looking! This piece is gorgeous!

Unger Bros. or Unger Brothers (1872–1910) was a jewelry company in Newark, New Jersey, best known for their sterling silver Art Nouveau designs.

The company was established by five sons from a German immigrant family. The oldest founded a jewelry business between 1870-1872 and began the manufacture of sterling silver items in 1878. Other sons gradually joined the firm, among them a silversmith and an hotsell engraver whose brother-in-law became the leading artistic designer. The firm's best years were from 1895 to 1907. Their best-selling items were dresser sets. Many of the wonderful Art Nouveau designs of Unger Brothers were inspired from the famous art work of Alphonse Mucha.

Unger Bros. work is collected in the Brooklyn Museum, Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Newark Museum, and RISD Museum.

SHIPPING NOTE: My number one priority is the safe shipping of your item. Bubble wrap, while protective, can sometimes be too stiff for a very fragile item, and the plastic bubbles, can also leave permanent round marks on pieces. Therefore, I order very soft cushioned pads from our local medical supply, and wrap each item first, in these protective pads, and then additional packing such as bubble wrap, and protective cardboard are added ... depending on the individual needs of each item.

COMBINED SHIPPING: I try to do combined shipping wherever possible. If you wish to purchase more than one item, just email me for a quote.
