French 19 Centruy Louis XVI Style Ormolu-Mounted Marble-Top Gueridon Side Table

About the Item

A very fine French 19th century Louis XVI style mahogany and kingwood veneer finely chased ormolu-mounted marble top gueridon side table. The circular Brêche d'Alep marble top surmounted with a gilt bronze trim raised on four square legs with a two-tone parquetry design, the corners with ormolu rosettes, the a middle shelf centered with a burr walnut circular design, on tapered feet. Attributed to François Linke (1855-1946). Circa: Paris, 1900. Height: 28 3/4 inches (73 cm). Diameter: 30 inches (76.2 cm). Footnote: 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.
