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.

Hunzinger patented table

I found this one over on the Rare Victorian Fourm. A gentleman posted pics of his table along with the attached patent plaq. If you are interested in getting some answers about victorian furniture you may have, the members of the forum always provide good feedback. Kudos to RareVic for setting it up.

George Hunzinger Parlor Table

Rare Victorian found this at a local (to the Rare Vic) Victorian antique store. Check out John's Post for more info about the piece and the store at which it can be found. UPDATE: John just reported that the piece has been sold.

High Dollar Hunzinger

John tipped me off to this George Hunzinger chair for auction. Before I could post it, the auction had ended. It went for $10,500... Absolutely stunning.

Insane Awesome Hunzinger for Sale

I got my FeedBlitz subscription to the Rare Victorian website with this gem in it. It is a patented duplex-spring rocker with embossed leather uphostery. You can find out how to purchase it by visiting the post at the Rare Victorian.

Third Place

Christa notified me that I had been seriously slacking on my blogs lately. I enquired as to exactly how much blogging one had to do in order to be considered a slacker. She answered simply... "you have slipped to third place" What? Evidently at one time in the recent past, typing in the word Hunzinger in a Google search pulled my blog as the number one site... well, now I have slipped to third behind some construction company named Hunzinger and behind another furniture blogger: Rare Victorian. Although I can't begrudge either of them, especially John at the RareVic, for taking my spot, I will have to kick it up a notch to bring up my hit ranking. So here we go!

Check out this fine Hunzinger piece Christa sent me last night. Platform rocker with patented duplex spring system. The finish looks original. The carvings in the back are quite cool. Finally, it has a stamped pattent mark as opposed to a paper lable. I'm considering purchasing it, but If I don't I'll share the link to the sale page! :)

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.)

Hunzinger Chair

John, of The Rare Victorian, sent me a pic of his own Hunzinger chair. A very nice piece. Always cool to get pics from readers! Thx John!
