- Rocking Chair, 1876-1889 - Chairmaker George Hunzinger patented an innovative alternative to the traditional woven cane and upholstered seats and backs of the late 1800s. Hunzinger wove fabric-wrapped wire into an openwork surface. The sturdy braided wiring was more durable than cane and provided a similar look. He offered the cloth wrapping in a range of decorative colors which appealed to the Victorian appetite for variety.
