I bought a pair of high style renaissance revival/neo-grec chairs at an antique co-op in northern new jersey a few months ago...and have been trying to figure out who made them...so far George Hunzinger is my best guess...but there isn't anything mechanical or whimsical about them...however, he seemed to use the cross bar in many of his designs...
Is there a definitive book or catalog showing his body of work?

Nice find. I need to get me up to that co-op...
Variations on that chair are attributed to A. Roux and others by John Jelliff in "Styles of American Furniture 1860-1960" by Dubrow and Dubrow. See pages 33, 39, 42, and 43. The ones on 42 were probably attributed based on the carved-bust arms.

Forgot to say - you'll also see it attributed to George Hunzinger as Antiquarian Traders does. Theirs is the closest match to yours, possibly identical.
