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.

Hunzinger Standard Rocker
This is a modified lollipop rocking chair on a conventional rocker base. It listed for $899, but did not sell. I suspect it was overpriced. Probably would have sold for $250 as there were several screws missing and the finish was quite worn. Or it could be the awful fabric that someone put on it.
