About the Item
Antique French Louis XV style ormolu and Vernis Martin mounted cabinet
French, Late 19th Century
Height 119cm, width 121cm, depth 48cm
Crafted in the late 19th century, this cabinet (also called meuble d’appui) is in the ornate Louis XV style and is adorned with a large selection of ormolu mounts.
The piece is topped by a shaped marble top, below which is a frieze filled with one long and two short ormolu mounts. The central one is hiding a drawer which can be opened with a push of a button. The large, central panel is executed using the Vernis Martin technique, developed in the 18th century by the French Martin brothers. It is a japanning or imitation lacquer technique, and pieces decorated with Vernis Martin panels, such as the cabinet in Mayfair Gallery’s collection are very desirable. The panel depicts a courtship party set in a woodland, with figures dressed in typical 18th century clothing. The scene is framed by ornate ormolu mounts made up of scrolls and acanthus leaves. Similar mounts are placed on two smaller, side panels framing the beautiful veneers. The central, lockable door opens to reveal two adjustable shelves.
The antique stands on four cabriole legs, terminating with ormolu acanthus sabots.
The wooden carcass is stamped ‘T. VINCENT’ in several places and on the reverse is a paper label with illegible ink writing.
Of very high quality, this meuble d’appui can be used to display one’s collection of decorative objects.

French 19th C. Louis XV Style Ormolu-Mounted Vernis Martin Cabinet by F. Linke
By François Linke
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A Very Fine French 19th century Louis XV Style Ormolu-Mounted Kingwood and Satinwood Parquetry Vernis Martin Decorated Meuble D'Appui Side-Cabinet by François Linke (1855-1946) - Index Number 204 - Paris. The serpentine Griotte de Campan Rouge marble top above a single bombé door painted with a scène of a couple running through the forest flanked by cupids and angels over a waterfall, the interior fitted with one wooden shelf, the front angles each with a scrolling foliate clasp, the bombé sides decorated with square parquetry fields, on cabriole legs and acanthus-cast sabots. The lockplate engraved 'Ct. LINKE - PARIS'. The ormolu cast stamped 'FL' on the back. Circa: Paris, 1890-1900.
François Linke (1855-1946) was one of the most celebrated ébénistes of his time. Born in Pankraz, Bohemia, Linke moved to Paris in 1875 and six years later established independent ateliers at 170, rue de Faubourg St. Antoine. As was the practice among contemporaries and noteworthy predecessors, such as Alfred Beurdeley and Henry Dasson, Linke initially produced furniture derived from styles popular during the 18th century ancien régime. By 1900, his worldwide reputation as an individualistic master of high quality furniture was already established. However, with a huge display, placing his extravagant pieces in room settings and winning the Médaille d'Or for his Grand Bureau...
