The signature most probably refers to Christian Kintzing (1707–1804), a clockmaker and keyboard instrument maker of German Mennonite heritage. Christian from circa 1738 onwards worked principally as a clockmaker in Neuwied, for some years in association with his brother Peter (1709–1743). The name Kintzing is of course best known for their close collaboration with Roentgen workshop, also established in Neuwied. Especially Christian Kintzing’s son, Peter (1745–1816), together with the famous cabinetmaker David Roentgen made a variety of high-quality musical clocks, cabinets including clocks, pianos and further automatic instruments, intended for the international market.
