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.

Green Platform Rocker
This sweet platform rocker was listed on eBay. Although the owner could not find the stamp, it is definitly a Hunzinger. The stamp was most likely on the under-side of the platform - this is where it is located on both rockers Christa and I own.

Hunzinger for Sale
A reader is wishing to sell this Hunzinger Platform Rocker. If anyone is interested, just leave an email address in the comments section and the seller will contact you. Although these pics are from a Cell phone, the chair looks to be in great shape... and those carvings on the back are very cool. A fine piece indeed.

Not a Hunzinger
This Merklen chair is amazing. I got the picture from The Rare Victorian. Chairs like this one are frequently attributed to Hunzinger, but if you look over all the furniture pics on my site, you will start to see that the spindles on this piece are nothing like the rest of George Hunzinger's works. If this style is more to your liking than Hunzinger, I highly recomend checking out the Rare Victorian. You will see a wide variety of furniture from the Victorian age. (Thanks again for the pic John.)

Hunzinger Rocker
This fine piece went on eBay for $3,800.00!!! That is the highest I have seen a single Hunzinger Rocker sell for on eBay.
A brief note on the photo: My wife searches out pictures of Hunzinger furniture all the time and sends me the links and pics. (Thanks so much sweetie!) Unfortunately, like a ding-bat, I did not get the pictures off of eBay soon enough and all I was left with was a single thumbnail.
