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.

Hunzingerish...
This rocker seems to have a lot of Hunzinger style, but is missing a few things. It does not use the patented spring system. It does not have castor wheels found on nearly every platform rocker I have seen. Finally, it does not have a Hunzinger stamp or paper lable. It went on auction for $89, but did not sell.
