About the Item

A very fine French 19th-20th century Louis XVI style mahogany and gilt bronze (Ormolu) mounted guéridon side table with marble top, attributed to François Linke, (1855-1946). The single drawer table with an inset round Brêche marble top surmounted with a spiral ormolu ring, the apron with finely chased cast ormolu mounts allegorical to spring centered with a basket of flowers, ribbons, crowns, floral strands and corner wreaths, 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.  Measures: Height 30 inches (76.2 cm) Diameter 23 inches (58.4 cm).

Another almost identical table by François Linke (1855-1946) was sold at Christie's London 19th Century Furniture, Sculpture, Works of Art and Ceramics, Sale 7569 on 18 March 2008, Lot 66. François Linke (1855-1946) was one of the most celebrated ébénistes of his time. Born in Pankraz, Bohemia, Linke moved to Paris in 1875 and six years later established independent ateliers at 170, rue de Faubourg St. Antoine. As was the practice among contemporaries and noteworthy predecessors, such as Alfred Beurdeley and Henry Dasson, Linke initially produced furniture derived from styles popular during the 18th century ancien régime. By 1900, his worldwide reputation as an individualistic master of high quality furniture was already established.
