Jean-Pierre Latz, circa 1691-1754
This table crire is almost identical to that sold by the Rt. Hon. The Dowager Lady Michelham, Hampton & Sons, 23 November 1926, lot 187. Although stamped by Adrien-Faizelot Delorme (matre in 1748), this was almost certainly in the latter's capacity as a marchand-bniste, the table itself being executed by Latz. An artisan privilgi du roi, Latz worked from the rue du Faubourg St. Antoine and his style is characterized by its sculptural vitality, extremely realistic floral marquetry and distinctive bronze mounts, which he cast himself in direct contravention to the guild regulations (H. Hawley, 'Jean-Pierre Latz, Cabinetmaker,' Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art, September/October 1970, p.207). A closely related pair of tables, stamped by Latz and formerly in the collection of Sidney J. Lamon, was sold anonymously at Christie's London, 9 December 1982, lot 52. A further table, attributed to Latz, is now in the Louvre (don. Grog-Carven).
Interestingly, the overlapping-guilloche angle-mounts are of very similar model to those employed by BVRB (see lots 102-3), perhaps suggesting that they were both working for the same marchand-mercier, who in turn supplied the mounts.
