A very nice pair of Art Nouveau sterling silver cufflinks by Unger Bros. Each of the oval faces features a stylized design reminiscent of pine needles swirling around a central boss. The design shows a clear trend toward a more geometric style that eventually grew into Art Deco, rather than the swirling, feminine lines of classic Art Nouveau. The faces are connected by oval links. The backs are stamped with Unger's hallmark.Origin: America, ca. 1910. Condition: excellent, all original, sharp detail. Size: 13/16" x 17/32". Weight: 11.0 grams.

A nice pair of double-faced sterling silver cufflinks in the "Curio Medallion" style. This design, created by George Shiebler, was intended to give the impression that the pieces were actually ancient coins excavated from the ground. The rough edges and pitted surfaces suggested centuries' of wear and tear. Each face is decorated with the profile of a Grecian man wearing a headband. The headband is decorated with images of steeds pulling a chariot, possibly indicating that the profile was intended to represent Apollo, god of the sun, whose horses pulled the golden chariot of the sun across the sky. The backs are marked "Sterling" and have an unknown maker's mark.Origin: America, ca. 1880. Condition: excellent, sharp detail. Size: 19/32" diameter. Weight: 9.25 grams.
