Rare Centre Table with a Campan Rubané Marble Top by François Linke

About the Item

An important and rare gilt-bronze, mahogany and Bois Satiné centre table, with campan rubané marble top. By François Linke. Linke index number 1103. The gilt bronze on the stretcher variously incised and numbered 'FL/5842' The circular top inset with a Campan Rubané, quarried in the Campan valley of the High Pyrenees region of France. Campan Rubané marble was used for fireplaces and wall-panels in Louis XIV’s apartments at Versailles, and therefore complements perfectly this Régence style centre table. This centre table is index number 1103 in François Linke’s inventory and recorded to have been made three times. Two tables are recorded to feature a cherub, known as ‘l'enfant guerrier’, to the stretcher, and one example with a flaming vase, such as featured to the present table and therefore identifying it as a unique example. Christopher Payne notes that the gilding for such tables was tasked to Maury and the cabinetry to Schmit aided by Sebestik who dedicated over 500 hours of work to their production. Comparative Literature: Christopher Payne, François Linke: The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, Woodbridge, 2003, p. 241, pl. 257. France, circa 1900.

Monumental Louis XVI Style Giltwood Centre Table by François Linke, circa 1914
By François Linke
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A unique monumental Louis XVI Style giltwood centre table with a Brèche Violette marble top by François Linke. French, circa 1914. Giltwood furniture by Linke is not only rare, but can be difficult to identify as it tends to be unmarked. This table can however be confidently attributed to Linke, as an early black and white photograph of the piece, Linke index no. 2575, survives in the Linke Archive (see page 428 pl. 501, in Christopher Payne: François Linke, 1855-1946, The Belle Époque of French Furniture). The only one of its kind known to have been produced, it was carved for Linke in May 1914 by the outworker Derivry. It formed part of the important commission of furniture ordered by the Italian born Argentinean banker Antonio Devoto...
