SOLD Antique Hunzinger Lollipop Platform Rocker

We are pleased to be offering today one of the more unusual Hunzinger rockers that old George Hunzinger had made and designed back in the late 1800s.  Hunzinger was a furniture designer from Germany, who imported to the USA back around the Victorian boom and came out with a really nice line of furniture.  He patented this hinge mechanism that is underneath this rocker to make his rockers most unique.  At the time he had the only spring mechanism like this, which is easily identified.  There is usually a paper label underneath the bottom platform, but they get lost over the years.  This particular rocker dates from the 1880s.  This one came in and the finish was worn and the seat was all ripped up.  All we had to do was strip it, glue it, sand it, stain it, spray it, upholster it and sell it.  Those are the steps we do here to provide you this beautiful furniture.  This gorgeous chair was most likely maple or birch, but we stained it this stunning  dark reddish brown mahogany color, which is what the factory would have done back in the day.  The overall size across the first two balls on the arm is 23 inches wide, 20 inches deep on the seat, approximately 33 inches high to the top, 21 inches high to the front ball on the arm and the seat is 15 inches high. The boys did put a pad on the seat to make it more comfortable that the original one.   The original platform and spring mechanism is intact.  Now George Hunzinger can live on!  I could almost say that you will go far to see another one like it.  They are not that hard to find, but they are that scarce.  It will cost $245 to have this rocker shipped within our normal shipping area.  Please contact us prior to purchase to confirm that you are in our normal area.  We also ship to all points of Canada, but please contact us prior to purchase to obtain a quote for your specific locale.
