A Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Table by François Linke

About the Item

A Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Table by François Linke. Signed to the bronze rim ‘Linke’. Linke Index Number. 593. This rare table can serve as a desk, dressing table or occasional table. It has a kidney shaped top finely inlaid with radiating bois de violette and bois satine parquetry inlay, banded in gilt-bronze. Below are three drawers, the smaller side drawers with naturalistic foliate handles the centre drawer with an unusual and finely cast scallop shell escutcheon. The desk is raised on slender cabriole legs with with foliate cast gilt-bronze clasps and feet. French, Circa 1900. Recorded in the Linke archives as Index Number 593 with the title ‘Table Louis XV, bois de Palissandre’, this was a popular model and made as early as 1893. The model was conceived as a table à écrire but serves equally well as a coiffeuse. François Linke (1855 - 1946) was the most important Parisian cabinet maker of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and possibly the most sought after cabinet maker of his period.
