Lot 136
A Rare American Modern Gothic Incised Walnut Daybed, c. 1876, with incised stamp "Hunzinger...Pat. April 18 1876", adjustable back with concentric boss crest ends, "U" arms with cone terminals, tapering legs with ball tops, stretchers with spindles and spherules, retaining original woven wire webbing, original surface with paint decoration intact, height 35 in., exterior width 24 in., exterior depth 73 in. Note: This rare Hunzinger daybed is identical to examples in the Brooklyn Museum of Art (acc. 86.177) and the Milwaukee Art Museum (acc. M1987.147). Considered one of the most progressive of Hunzinger's designs, this daybed uses bold geometric elements to compose a form similar to Grecian sofas and recamiers of the Classical period in the early 19th century. Reference: Harwood, The Furniture of George Hunzinger, Invention and Innovation in Nineteenth-Century America, pp. 97-99.
