French Early 20th C. Louis XVI St. Mahogany, Ormolu and Marble Console Table

About the Item

An elegant and very high quality French Early 20th century Louis XVI mahogany, ormolu, and Arabescato marble center/side, table/desk attributed to François Linke. The table is raised by circular tapered fluted legs with fine fitted foliate ormolu sabots and beautiful mottled top caps. Above each leg are finely detailed pierced foliate ormolu corner mounts flanking the straight frieze. The frieze displays one drawer decorated with an exceptional pierced fitted ormolu plaque of beautiful richly chased scrolled Rinceau foliate designs vines, stunning swaging blooming flower garlands, and Bacchanalian cherubs playing horns centering the tied ribbon keyhole escutcheon with a bagpipe and a pan flute also repeated at the back. Above is the original fitted Arabescato marble top framed within a finely mottled wraparound ormolu gallery. Francois 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 ancient regime 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 L,on Messag, 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.
