Pair of Hunzinger Lollipop ChairsIt's not unusual to run into a Hunzinger lollipop chair but I haven't run into a matched pair: armchair and rocker. As I write this, the set has been bid up to only $202, though I anticipate them reaching a much higher price as there is a reserve that has not been met. Apparently they have been refinished 20 years ago, and I cannot tell if they are oak or mahogany from the pictures (the description is sparse). Bidding ends May 22nd and more details can be found here.

    Yes, Hunzinger did a Settee very similar to this. I will post a pic on the blog.
