I'm a big fan of George Hunzinger's work and when I ran across this unusual Lollipop chair by him I had to bring it home. I have never seen this chair in any of the auctions, Ebay or otherwise, nor in the Barry Harwood Hunzinger book or any other book for that matter. I plan on keeping it, but if someone gave me an offer I couldn't refuse I might part with it. I think it is rare enough and in such good condition that it could potentially be a museum piece. For now it will sit in the corner of one of my guest bedrooms.eBay Antiques · originally published

These chairs were used for room decoration, as photography props, or even as one ad shows, "coffin rooms" (funeral parlor viewing rooms).
I say this not just for the lollipop design, but for any of his decorative designs.
