HunTzinger

Paul Tucker sent me these fine, but mis-labled, Hunzinger settee and chairs.  You can still get them off of Ebay if you hurry!.  Thanks Paul!

Reclining chair at Antique Hunter

I got a message from Antique-Hunter, they have a Hunzinger reclining chair that is in simply pristine condition.  It is definitely worth a visit to the site to check out the rest of the pictures.

Impressive webbed rocker

This rocker is soooo awesome!  The patented webbing appears to be in fairly good shape.  One thing that is interesting is that the rocker doesn't use the patented springs.  I don't know if this was made before Hunzinger invented his spring system.  As of right now, there is still 23 hrs left on the auction.  Check it out here:

Drop Arm Sette

Wow!  You don't see these very often (my first time, actually).  This drop arm settee was listed at $1,450 on ebay, but did not sell, so look for it in the future.  You might also find it at Chatsworth-Auction-Rooms.

"Very fine and rare antique Victorian era George Hunzinger "Lollipop" drop arm settee ~ bench, c.1860, not marked. Having 25 stick & ball "Lollipop" spindles on rear with 8 flat topped spindles on the drop arms all strung together with a hidden brass rod.  Single ball top finial arm support and standing on shaped Cabriole style legs with brass casters.
