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.

Platform Rocker
Another fine Hunzinger platform rocker. This one is different in that it has slowly twisting spindles. It also has small spires at the top of the back of the seat. I have shown the side-stamp, castor, and spring mechanism.
