Against the explicit wishes of his nephew Emperor Franz-Josef (1830-1916), Archduke Heinrich of Austria (1828-1891) morganatically married the singer Leopoldine Hofmann, later Freifrau von Waideck (1842-1891) on February 4th 1868. In 1871, Franz-Josef, by surprise, re-affirmed Heinrich's membership to the family. It is most probably on behalf of their daughter, Maria Rainera (1872-1936), that the present table was commissioned.
