Unger Brothers Sterling Silver “Indian Head” Walking Stick. Marked with the Unger Brothers hallmark twice, “Sterling 925 Fine,” and an applied retailer’s plaque for Frankfield Co. of New York. The knob features Unger’s bold repoussé depiction of a Native American chief in full headdress, executed in sterling silver and mounted on a rosewood shaft with steel ferrule.Founded in Newark, New Jersey, in the late 19th century, Unger Brothers quickly became one of America’s most celebrated silver manufacturers during the Art Nouveau era (circa 1895–1910). They were especially known for their high-relief repoussé designs, often depicting women, mythological subjects, and—more rarely—Native American imagery. Their work remains highly sought-after by collectors for its artistry and craftsmanship.Frankfield & Co., founded in 1856 by Adolph Frankfield, was a prestigious New York jeweler and watchmaker known for retailing luxury goods—fine silver, jewelry, watches, and presentation items—from their West 34th Street location in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This walking stick, crafted by Unger Brothers and retailed by Frankfield, represents a collaboration between two respected American firms at the height of the Art Nouveau movement.Length: 33 in. | Diameter: 1¼ in.Provenance: Al & Carol Cali Collection.Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup.
