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.

Not a Hunzinger!
The Rare Victorian website (awesome) has an article up on the proper identification of some spiral legged furniture that is frequently claimed to be Hunzinger, but which is actually produced by the Merklen brothers. It is a great article with a handful of Hunzinger pictures. Definitly check it out.
If you are seriously considering investing in antiques as a source of profit then you really should do your research. This can be considered the same as rustic living room furniture sometimes. Formal living room furniture seems to be the perfect furniture for a museum or a dusty millionaire’s mansion, but there are still houses built and decorated in the old-time manner and style.
