About the Item
A French Belle Époque Louis XVI Style Giltwood Carved Torchere (Torchière) Pedestal Stand, attributed to François Linke (1855-1946), Index number 1546
Paris, 1907. The slender tripod body, surmounted with laurel wreaths, rosettes and scrolls and a center finial, with a circular inset top and scrolled feet. Circa: Paris, 1900-1920.
François Linke (d. 1946) was awarded the gold medal for his Grand Bureau at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. He was the most celebrated Ébéniste of his time. Born in Bohemia in 1855, he moved to Paris in 1881. He produced furniture of the highest quality at his workshops at 170, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, and established showrooms at 26, Place Vendme. A much simpler version of this commode, with fewer ormolu mounts and with no marquetry, is illustrated in Christopher Payne's "François Linke 1855-1946 The Belle Epoque of French Furniture" Antique Collectors' Club, 2003 Edition, Index 720, Page 498.
