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.

Patent Number 624812 - May 9, 1899
This chair was patented after George Hunzinger died by his hiers. According to the patent, it was his design. This odd shaped chair has wide platform arms that fold down to the sides. The patent is dated: May 9, 1899. It is US Patent Number 624812.
"Died by his heirs" is what is on the patent application! I was stunned as well. Sounds like they killed him.
