Background Unger Brothers Silver Company:
The designs of the Art Nouveau period featured motifs ofwomen with long flowing hair, angels and cherubs, fairies or sprites, animals(dragonflies being of particular popularity), naturalistic foliate designs,flowers and scroll work. Risqué items and mild erotica were also popular ArtNouveau motifs. The worlds of naturalism and fantasy were often combined. Themajor artists of the period included Alphonse Mucha, Raphael Kirchner, &Henri Toulouse-Lautrec.
This period was characterized in part by its repoussé,designs in jewelry and metalwork. Repoussé [ruh poo SAY]: a technique ofraising metal, working from the back side. All of the pieces featured here arefrom American manufacturers and are classified as “Sterling SilverHollow-ware.“ Hollow-ware is a generic term for any tool, decorative piece orvessel produced by raising, casting, stamping, or spinning and is usuallycreated by two soldered sterling silver halves.
Many of the wonderful Art Nouveau designs of Unger Brotherswere inspired from the famous art work of Alphonse Mucha. William Unger was apartner of Thomas A. Edison from 1870-1872 in the Newark Telegraph Works. Thisfirm was dissolved that year and the five brothers William, George, Frederick,Herman and Eugene Unger organized Unger Brothers for the manufacture and saleof pocket knives and hardware specialties. They began the manufacture ofsterling silver hollow-ware and jewelry in 1878.
