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.

Hunzinger Stool?
This really cool stool was listed on eBay as being made by Hunzinger. No stamp was noted or any other documentation provided. Regardless of it's origin, it is a very nice piece.
See the book American Furniture of the 19th Century p 181. Hunzinger parlor set with split hoof feet. Not definitive proof, but interesting... Probably the source of the attribution.
