About the Item
A stunning and high quality French 19th century Louis XVI st. Belle Époque period Mahogany, Ormolu, and Rosalia marble center table/desk, attributed to François Linke.

The front apron is decorated with two mottled Ormolu edged panels with swaging floral garlands within flanking one central drawer with a solid Ormolu plaque of playful winged cherubs. Both sides are designed in a similar fashion with their Ormolu edged panel. Each side panel has a pierced mount of a bust with a floral head piece and flanked by two rams decorated with scrolling foliate designs. The fitted Rosalia Marble top is secured by a mottled Ormolu band.
