An exceptional circa-1870 rocking chair by American furniture designer George Hunzinger, with the inventive construction and highly distinctive detailing for which his work is collected. Mahogany barley-twist supports, intricate spindle work, sculptural arms, and a tall architectural back give the chair remarkable presence from every angle.

Needlepoint upholstery adds richness and texture while reinforcing the chair's Victorian character. More than a functional rocker, this is a striking piece of nineteenth-century American furniture design with an eccentric, sculptural quality that can hold its own in both traditional and collected contemporary interiors.
