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.

Hunzingerish
This chair is listed as "Hunzinger Style" which is an accurate description. It doesn't match any of his known patents and is meerly similar in style to his folding chairs. Nice bamboo though...
Good Evening, I know this comment is over a year too late - I just found your blog. I have 2 of these great little bamboo folding chairs. They were made by the E. W. Vaill Chair Co. of Worchester Mass. in the 1870's. They were/are originally ebonized with Wilton carpet sling seat and back panels. An image of this chair appears in E&R Dubrow's "Made in America" book of Victorian furniture on page 256.
