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 Hunzingerish platform rocker is being accurately sold as "in the style of George Hunzinger". Nice to see that they are marketing it correctly. Note the differences in construction - specifically the spring mechanism and the angle braces beneath the arms. Of course there are a ton of platform rockers on this site to which one can compare.
