On her return home from the first two visits, she was accompanied by a staggering quantity of works of art, transported by 34 and 14 wagons respectively. ⠀ .⠀ Although unstamped, this superb and ingenious table can be attributed to the German-born cabinet-maker Jean-Pierre Latz, who supplied a number of important pieces to Madame Infante for Parma, including two commodes which rank among his masterpieces. ⠀ .⠀ Intricate marquetry tables, often with hidden mechanisms, were a particular specialty of 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 ébèniste privilegié du roy, which enabled him to exercise his profession freely without entering the guild as a master. ⠀ .⠀ Latz's work is characterized by rich, naturalistic floral marquetry in dense clusters often punctuated by distinctive gourd-like seed pods and framed by distinctive cartouches, often related to the work of Jean-François Oeben, with whom he is known to have collaborated and with whom he shared an interest in using distinctive burr veneers, as on the outer border of this table.⠀ .⠀ A Royal Louis XV Ormolu-Mounted Burr Birch, Tulipwood, Fruitwood, Amaranth and Marquetry Table a La Bourgogne, Attributed to Jean-Pierre Latz, Circa 1750. Estimate: $100,000-200,000.⠀ .⠀ Dalva Brothers: Parisian Taste In New York — 22 October, New York⠀ .⠀ #louisxv #french #furniture #frenchfurniture #dalvabrothers #18thcentury #decorativearts #finefurniture」10月17日 6時19分
