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.
hi, I have a rocker with a carved crest that is nearly identical to the green chair you posted on March 31. I wanted to ask you about how to find/where to look for Hunzinger marks, or if I could send you a photo of this rocker for your opinion. thanks
I have primarily seen the marks on the backs and bottoms of his furniture. As for carved crests, I beleive that there were a number of manufacturers that made them and then furniture builders purchased them. So the same crest would not necessarily mean that the builder was the same. I would like to see pics of your rocker. Please send to scott.geyer at gmail dot com
