About the Item
A pair of ormolu mounted marquetry pedestals. After a model by Francois Linke.
Each with a marble top above bombé sides inlaid with loose floral bouquets, the angles mounted with lion-pelts suspending laurel swags and drapery, on short foliate-clasped cabriole legs with paw-cast sabots.
François Linke: ‘Modèle Tête De Lion’
Laurel-festooned in celebration of 'abundance through labor' and hung with lion-pelts recalling Hercules's labors , there is perhaps no greater admired nor more frequently imitated master work of French furniture than Jean-François Oeben's and Jean-Henri Riesener's celebrated Bureau du Roi. The inspiration for this pair of pedestals was the richly-mounted bureau commissioned by Louis XV from Oeben (maître 1759) in 1760 and ultimately completed by Riesener (maître 1768) in 1769. The bureau survived devastation at Saint-Cloud in 1870 and was subsequently moved to the Louvre. Under instructions from the fourth Marquess of Hertford, it is believed that the first 19th century reproduction of the bureau was completed between 1853 and 1870 by Carl Dreschler and Charles Crozatier.
Linke’s first example of the Bureau du Roi, index number 710, was completed in 1902 and in all he made four. Linke subsequently applied much of the ornament and mounts from his version of the Bureau du Roi to create other pieces of furniture. Thus in addition to this pair of pedestals ‘inspired by the Bureau du Roi’ Linke completed a monumental bibliothèque, a bergère, a piano and commodes - all with distinctive lion-pelt corner mounts (C. Payne, François Linke: The Belle Époque of French Furniture, Woodbridge, 2003, pp 218-226).
