Paul Tucker sent me these fine, but mis-labled, Hunzinger settee and chairs. You can still get them off of Ebay if you hurry!. Thanks Paul!
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 - Unknown maker
A reader sent me these pics of two chairs. He is hoping someone might be able to identify the maker? Please respond if you do! In addition, if you like interacting with other Victorian Era furniture fans, check out the RareVictorian Forum.

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!
