Is this a George Hunzinger chair? Who knows... in any case, it is very cool. (Thx to The Rare Victorian for sending it my way.)
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.

Oak Hunzinger Piano Chair
This chair was sent to me by DovetailAntiques. Appears to be in awesome condition, and may have the original upholstery. It also has a Hunzinger tag. Dovetail enquired as to the estimated value of the piece... If anyone can make an estimate, please post in the comments. I'll say $500 - $800 if sold on eBay... however, I am not an appraiser, but merely a collector and fan of George's work. Thx again to Dovetail for the pics!

Bad Blogger
Wow... 40 days no posts on my site... Bad blogger! Bad!
Anyway. Have been busy with other stuff, so my other blogs got short-shifted as well. I wish I could find something good to blame it on, but I'll go ahead and say... Halo 3. :)
(If anyone is up for a game, my gamer tag is the same is my blogger tag!
C U Online!)
