Franz Unterberger was an art gallery owner based in Innsbruck, the capital city in the state of Tyrol in western Austria. It was here that Unterberger sold works by prominent woodcarver artists such as Sebastian Steiner(1836-1896) and later by his son Ernst Steiner(1864-1934). The Steiners were well known Tyrolean court sculptors and carvers, and worked for various members of the Austrian Imperial Family.
