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.

Totally Awesome Platform Rocker

Hunzinger Chair & Platform Rocker
Pepsi Addict sent us pictures of a matching Hunzinger chair and platform rocker. They have been passed down through the familly from her great, great, great, grandfather. Although neither the rocker or chair has a stamp, they are both obviously of Hunzinger design. One interesting thing about the chair is the claw-feet. It matches those of several other pieces we have found including this bench that I thought might be a Merklen.
