Hunzinger Coat Rack?

Check this item out that is listed as a Hunzinger coat rack. No patent stamps or marks on it, but it is definitly Hunzingerish. In this particular case, I would be willing to bet that it is. Probably something he made as a special order to go with a pair of parlor chairs.

Note the hat racks, shoe racks, tilting mirror. Just what any fassionable Victorian gentleman needed to store his clothing upon.

Ransom Mirror

Paul Tucker, an expert on Moorish Fretwork furniture, was kind enough to send some concrete evidence that the mirror posted previously is not a Hunzinger piece at all, but one constructed by a furniture maker named: Moses Younglove Ransom. He made some magnificent pieces with those turned wood spindles... many in the exact same pattern as the mirror.

Here is the "smoking gun"





Thanks Paul for the correction!

Hunzinger Mirror

This very cool mirror is being listed on eBay as a Hunzinger piece. At first I was somewhat skeptical about the claim. The piece has no tag nor is it shown in any books on Hunzinger. But, after further examination of the photos I am completely convinced that this is indeed a Hunzinger mirror. Check out the pics of the mirror first.




Note the corners of the mirror on the pic below - square blocks with a circular carving.



Now check out these three stamped Hunzinger chairs. Notice the extremely similar square blocks with circular carvings at joints in the chairs. My guess is that Hunzinger didn't bother to pattent or stamp anything that did not have a specific mechanical part in the design.


It's hard to tell, but this particular rocker (below) appears to have the exact same blocks as the mirror.
