1869 Model Hunzinger

Bamboo style rocking chair. 1869 Patent.

Hunzinger Bamboo Rocker

Well Worn Hunzinger

This little guy just needs some TLC and a good home.

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...

Hunzinger Rocker w/ Patent Stamp

Check out the bamboo style rocker & the patent stamp. The chair's original wire & cloth webbing has been removed and replaced with what appears to be bailing twine or something similar. As the wire is irreplaceable, if it breaks or wears beyond use, one has to resort to replacing it with something inferior. :(
This one is listing on ebay for $195. Not a bad deal.

Hunzinger Plant Stand?

This interesting plant stand is being billed as a Hunzinger. Regardless of the manufacturer, it is very cool and I'm sure there are very few of these around. The seller is posting this one on eBay with a starting bid of $1700 and a Buy it now price of $2200. So far there are no bids on it. Although it may be overpriced, I suspect it may have to do with the pictures. For whatever reason, the seller chose to take the very blurry pictures next to what appears to be a trash pile and a ruined couch.

Pair of Hunzinger Chairs

This pair of chairs went at auction for $1800.

Standard Rocker

This standard rocker is currently listed on eBay starting at $9.99. Judging from the condition, I would guess it will go for $600 - I'll update if I see the final price. It is ebonized and gilded. It still has the original steel caning and is patent stamped. The post indicates that there is slight damage to the frame and one of the steel bands is broken.

UPDATE:
Christa said this chair sold for $127.75. It appears my future as a furniture appraiser is limited. I think I will keep my day job!

Overpriced Hunzinger Chair

This one is listed on eBay starting at $450 with a buy it now price of $2500. Although the chair still has the original wire webbing and is stamped, it is way over priced for the condition it is in. The wire caning is broken and the finish is very worn. I'll try to update with final price - my bet: unsold or reserve not met. This item is probably worth about $150-250.

UPDATE:
Christa said this one did not sell.

Bamboo Hunzinger with Caning

This bamboo style chair is in fantastic condition. However it has had it's original steel banded chair bottom replaced with caning. Unfortunately, the fabric that Hunzinger used to wrap the steel bands doesn't last a hundred years of use (cut the guy some slack). This one is stamped with two patent dates.

Bamboo Style Hunzinger Chair

This bamboo style Hunzinger still has the original seat caning. This pattented material is a steel strip wrapped in fabric to look like cane, but to be more durable. The picture showing the under side of the chair reveals the method by which the single strip of steel caning was attached to the frame. There are two patent stamps on the chair - one for the faux caning, the other for the chair design.
