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.
This one is amazing. I was going to say it rocks, but that wouldn't fit its dignity. To my eye the green leather enhances the design nicely. I love this blog, by the way. The galleries are superb.
Typo noticed: Hunzinger was a 19th century furniture maker, not an 18th century, as stated in the intro. Was he one of the original Steampunkers? Definitely a member of the Industrial Age's Cult of the Machine.
@Anonymous, A Hunzinger Rocker listed on eBay today, starting at $900. In my experience, it depends a lot on the condition of your rocker, but one in very good condition might go for $1500, and one that is in very poor condition may go for $150. Feel free to send me a picture! Cheers!
