About the Item
A very fine French early 20th century Empire style ormolu and figural patinated bronze-mounted amboyna and veined Verde d'Alps marble top "Gueridon" attributed to François Linke (1855-1946), Index Number 1390, Paris, after the Palais Fontainebleau Model that Adam Weisweiler (circa 1750-after 1810) and Pierre-Philippe Thomire (b. 1751 Paris, d. 1843 Paris) delivered to the Palais de Fontainebleau in 1810 (see J. P. Samoyault, Meubles entrés sous le Premier Empire, Paris, 2004, p. 248, no. 176). The circular top within a palmette rim, above four winged mermaid monopodoiae, on a shaped base centered with a gilt bronze mounted marbleized urn, Paris, circa 1910.
Another example of this model table is currently on display in the lobby of the Hôtel de Paris in Monte-Carlo, Principality of Monaco.
Measures: Height: 32 1/2 inches (82.6 cm).
Diameter: 40 inches (101.6 cm).
Literature
C. Payne, François Linke, 1855-1946, The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, Woodbridge, 2003, p. 208, pl. 228.
Linke acquired a model of the table at the vente Millet held 7-9 June 1905 (lot 655). Two years later, he produced his first copy, listed as index number 1390, but with a Samson porcelain urn imitating porphyry instead of marbleized urn as in the present item. The model proved popular and Christopher Payne records that Linke made a total of at least eight such tables.
François Linke (1855-1946) was undoubtedly the most important Parisian ébéniste of his time. Having served an apprenticeship in his hometown of Pankraz, Bohemia, Linke arrived in Paris in 1875 and set up independent workshops at 170, rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine in 1881 and later also at 26, Place Vendôme. By the time of the Paris 1900 Exposition Universelle, Linke's worldwide reputation as a master of high individualism and inventiveness was already established and unmatched by his contemporaries. His success at the 1900 Exhibition afforded Linke a high degree of financial stability and allowed him to pursue new markets by exhibiting at subsequent international fairs. Like the inventories of contemporaries such as Beurdeley and Dasson, Linke's oeuvre included copies and adaptations of the distinct styles of 18th century important and royal French furniture. His most extravagant exhibition pieces, however, combined the Louis XV style with the new Art Nouveau style. Linke's frequent collaborator for his designs was the celebrated sculptor Léon Messagé. In 1904, he was made Officier de L'Instruction Publique and in 1905 he was called to be a member of the Jury of the Liège exhibition. Following his stands in the St. Louis (U.S.A.) exhibition in 1904 and the Liège exhibition in 1905, Linke was decorated with the highest distinction of France, the Croix de la Légion d'Honneur, on October 11, 1906.
