George Hunzinger Furniture

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.

19th Century Lollipop Platform Rocking Chair by George Hunzinger

An outstanding Lollipop platform rocker in carved Oak by George Hunzinger late 19th c. production. The iconic patented Huntzinger steel and spring rocking mechanism is perfectly in tact as well as the original padding in the seat, newly recovered in Hunter Green leather with brass nailhead tacks. The original finish is in excellent hand rubbed unrestored antique condition. An especially solid, comfortable and visually delightful heirloom designed for functionality to stand the test of time.
