Lot Essay

Jean-Pierre Latz, active 1719 - 1754.

JEAN-PIERRE LATZ
Born in Cologne in 1691, Latz moved to Paris in 1719 and in 1739 married Marie-Madeleine Seignet, daughter of a well-connected property developer. His business evidently prospered as by 1741 he was appointed ébéniste privilegié du roy, which enabled him to exercise his profession freely without entering the guild as a master.
