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.

When the Merklen Brothers set up shop in New York City in 1879 they started making faux bamboo furniture. I have no images for this time period of their work but this smacks of Merklen design to me.
