Info

Like so many figures in the New York furniture industry of the 1860-70s, George Hunzinger immigrated to America in 1855 at age 20. Through his long and fertile career, he was granted 21 patents for furniture innovations. This chair is perhaps his most enduring one with diagonal cross bracing on the legs to the back of the chair for strength. The patent date is impressed on the verso of the crest rail. The upholstery foundations are original to the chair; however, the show covers are new and composed of a goldtued satin encased in a black, satin-rouched border. Made by his eponymous firm (1866-98) in New York City, the chair was offered with less gilding and more modest upholstery to appeal to different income levels. The modified curule base, Neo-Grec style turnings and gilded incising could be admired by the historicist; conversely, the structurally determined frame geometry, articulated joinery, standardized machine-turned components and spare efficiency of the frame are all true to the modernist canon.
