Although unstamped, these charming tables, with sharply defined, naturalistic ribbon-tied bouquets of flowers and curvaceous outlines, relate stylistically to the oeuvre of Jean-Pierre Latz. An artisan privilégié 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). Counting Frederick II of Prussia and Augustus III of Poland amongst his key patrons, Latz's style was fundamental to the development of the Rococo idiom in Potsdam and Berlin by the likes of the Spindler brothers.
These tables are part of a group that are either by Latz or attributed to him which share the same overall form and vividly drawn floral bouquets. Rarely occurring in pairs, they include two tables, one by Latz and the other attributed to him, which were formerly in the Baron von Goldschmidt-Rothschild collection, sold Christie's, London, 12 December 2002, lot 110. A single table with a partial stamp ...TZ from the collection of the late Andre Meyer sold Christie's, New York, 26 October 2001, lot 15, and another single attributed table was sold in the Alexander Collection, Christie's, New York, 30 April 1999, lot 93.
EDWARD HOLMES BALDOCK (1777-1845)
The brand 'EHB' is that of the celebrated dealer Edward Holmes Baldock, who traded as an 'Ornamental China-Dealer', 'Furniture Broker and Appraiser' and 'Foreign China and Furniture Warehouseman'. He was both a retailer of 'antique' French furniture as well as a manufacturer of furniture and objets de luxe in the French taste. Established in Hanway Street, London, Baldock was responsible for the formation of many of the greatest early 19th century collections of French furniture in England, including those of George IV, the Dukes of Buccleuch and Northumberland, William Beckford and George Byng, MP.
THELMA CHRYSLER FOY (1902-1957)
Thelma Chrysler Foy, elder daughter of Walter Chrysler, was a celebrated society hostess, dubbed by The New York Times as 'the woman of the greatest taste...in New York'. Her spectacular residences included an apartment at 740 Park Avenue, a town house on 91st Street originally built by the Vanderbilts and a country estate in Locust Valley. All were furnished with a dazzling array of French Impressionists and 18th century French furniture, much of which was supplied by Robert Samuels of French and Company. Parke Bernet offered her extensive collection from both her Park Avenue and Locust Valley residences in a landmark series of auctions from the 13-23 May 1959.
