A reader sent me these pics of two chairs. He is hoping someone might be able to identify the maker? Please respond if you do! In addition, if you like interacting with other Victorian Era furniture fans, check out the RareVictorian Forum.
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.
