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.

Folding Chair
This Hunzinger folding chair was recently listed on a live eBay auction. We placed an absentee bid on it, but did not win. We were somewhat surprised that the piece went for $250 as it appeared to be in very poor shape. The people who listed it indicated that the chair was stamped: Hunzinger Pat. May 19, 1870.
