Hunzinger Coat Rack?
Check this item out that is listed as a Hunzinger coat rack. No patent stamps or marks on it, but it is definitly Hunzingerish. In this particular case, I would be willing to bet that it is. Probably something he made as a special order to go with a pair of parlor chairs.

I would definitely leave that question mark at the end of Hunzinger coat rack. This doesn't seem like his style to me and there were dozens if not hundreds of smaller furniture companies and individual makers who made things like this. This fits real nicely in the Aesthetic Orientalism Japonisme Eastlake Stick style melange or decorative influences of the late 1800's.
