George Hunzinger was a furniture maker during the later half of the 19th century. He emigrated to the United States in 1855 and began manufacturing furniture in New York City. Like his contemporary furniture makers of the Victorian Age, Hunzinger's pieces are very decorative. What is unique about his furniture is the innovative and distinctive designs he patented. This site contains information and photo's of Hunzinger's work.

Merklen Bench
This particular bench was listed on eBay as being a Merklen/Hunzinger bench. It looks more like a Merklen piece as it has the brass claw feet and does not share many of the elements of other Hunzinger pieces such as angled braces. This bench went for $1,400.
