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.

George Hunzinger: A Man Ahead of His Time
I found this auction item at ArtFact. Evidently the piece is from the early 29th Century. Which puts Hunzinger approximately 1000 years ahead of his time. He is definitely unmatched by other Victorian Furniture makers of the era. The rocker looks to be in good condition... which is a bit surprising as it's creation caused a rift in the time-space continuum!

Hunzinger patented table
I found this one over on the Rare Victorian Fourm. A gentleman posted pics of his table along with the attached patent plaq. If you are interested in getting some answers about victorian furniture you may have, the members of the forum always provide good feedback. Kudos to RareVic for setting it up.

Hunzinger? Not so much...
You can pick these fine chairs up on eBay right now. Although they aren't Hunzingers, they are quite nice and from the same era. How can you tell? The spring system and lack of patent marks. Still pretty though.
