We are pleased to offer this exquisite Antique Victorian Platform Lollipop Rocker by the renowned George Hunzinger, dating back to the 1890s. Hunzinger, originally from Germany, became a prominent furniture maker in Philadelphia, known for his innovative designs and craftsmanship. This beautiful rocker is a prime example of his work, featuring a unique headrest, which is a rare find among similar pieces.
This rocking chair is finished in a dark mahogany stain or possibly a reddish-brown stained birch, adding warmth and elegance to any room. The upholstery is a classic antique red with beige fabric, complementing the wood finish beautifully. It features the genuine Hunzinger spring mechanism on its platform base, providing a smooth and comfortable rocking experience.
The overall dimensions of the chair are 21 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 45 inches high to the back of the chair. The arm height is 25.5 inches, and the seat height is 16 inches, making it comfortable for a variety of users. This piece is not just a chair but a statement of elegance and history, perfect for any Victorian or antique-inspired decor.
Interestingly, a similar Hunzinger rocker recently sold at auction for $1,150 plus a 30% buyer's premium—and it didn’t even include the headrest! This unique feature adds both aesthetic appeal and additional comfort, enhancing its value. If you're interested in a pair, please contact us to see if the companion rocker is still available.
