Late 19th Empire Style Rectangular Coffee or Side Table in François Linke Style

About the Item

A very fine French 19th-20th century Louis XVI style mahogany and gilt bronze (Ormolu) mounted guéridon side table in style to François Linke, (1855-1946). The beleveled top has a fine inlay, the apron with finely chased cast ormolu mounts in corners , raised on four tapered fluted legs headed by clasps and acorn spigots, all ending with gilt bronze sabots. Unsigned/unmarked, Paris, circa 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 l'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.
