About the Item
A Very Fine French 19th century Louis XVI Style Ormolu-Mounted Kingwood and Bois Citronnier Marquetry center table or writing table, attributed to François Linke (1855-1946), after the model by Jean-Henri Riesener (French, 1734-1806). The rectangular rounded Brêche Violette marble top table with an apron frieze within matted borders and scrolling foliate mounts with a central drawer inlaid with putti emblematic of the study of the arts, science and astronomy, the reverse with a simulated drawer conformingly inlaid and raised on faceted tapering legs mounted with baguettes and terminating in upswept foliate and ball sabots. Unsigned, circa: Paris, 1890-1900.
François Linke (1855-1946) born in Pankraz, Bohemia, is considered by many as the greatest Parisian cabinetmaker of his day, at a time when the worldwide influence of French fashion was at its height. The ancien régime has always been the greatest source of inspiration for artistic design in France and, influenced amongst others by the de Goncourt brothers, the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles were revived to wide popular appeal. During the Second Empire these styles were so eclectic that they became debased. Linke wanted to create a fresh new style and his association with the enigmatic sculptor Léon Messagé resulted in a highly original series of designs, based on the rococo style fused with the latest fashion in Paris, l’art nouveau. This style, known as le style Linke, was received with critical acclaim at the 1900 exhibition and remains popular today amongst the worldwide clientele for Linke’s exquisitely made furniture.
