Not a Hunzinger!

The Rare Victorian website (awesome) has an article up on the proper identification of some spiral legged furniture that is frequently claimed to be Hunzinger, but which is actually produced by the Merklen brothers.  It is a great article with a handful of Hunzinger pictures.  Definitly check it out.

Mystery Solved

Paul Tucker sent me these photos of pieces attributed to Merklen Brothers. They look a lot more like the pedestal than Hunzinger's other works. Mystery solved! Thanks Paul!

Not a Hunzinger

This Merklen chair is amazing. I got the picture from The Rare Victorian. Chairs like this one are frequently attributed to Hunzinger, but if you look over all the furniture pics on my site, you will start to see that the spindles on this piece are nothing like the rest of George Hunzinger's works. If this style is more to your liking than Hunzinger, I highly recomend checking out the Rare Victorian. You will see a wide variety of furniture from the Victorian age. (Thanks again for the pic John.)
