Jean-Pierre Latz (circa 1691-1754). Latz was born near Cologne and settled in Paris by 1719. He became naturalised in 1736 and obtained the warrant of ébéniste privilégié du roi before 1741. The inventories drawn up following his death in 1754 and his wife's death in 1756 indicate that the main activity of his workshop was the production of clock-cases. The 1754 inventory lists one hundred and seventy clock-cases and only forty-eight other pieces of furniture. The 1756 inventory lists ninety-two clock-cases and only thirty-three items of furniture.
