The Frank Brothers Gold and Silver Factory (Die Gold und Silberwarenfabrik Brüder Frank) was founded in 1887 in Vienna, during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Brüder Frank was very well-known in Austria, but also exported to Germany, Holland, Switzerland, and Russia. In 1889 Frank Brothers were represented with several exotic silver pieces in the Special Exhibition of Austrian Art at the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry, as well as at the exhibition of the Austrian Art Industry 1850-1914.
