Catalogue Note

Frederick Hintz was born in East Germany in 1711 but by 1737 he was recorded as living in London. Along with the cabinet maker John Channon, Hintz was part of a small community of émigré artisans resident in London. A number of similar tables were exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1993 in the exhibition 'John Channon and brass inlaid furniture 1730-1760'.
