About the Item

A Pair Of Belle Epoque Gilt-Bronze Mounted Marquetry Pedestals, With Marble Top, By François Linke, Paris. Each with a shaped Fleur de Pêcher Marble top above a serpentine case fitted with foliate angle mounts and veneered in precious timbers with marquetry reserves of bois de bout (end cut) floral marquetry. The sides with cube parquetry. Raised on cabriole legs with scrolled foliate sabots. Linke Index Number 126. Reverse of the mounts variously incised 'FL'. France, Circa 1890. This highly popular model was produced in various finishes by Linke's workshop from 1885 to 1930, the present variant in bois de bout marquetry ceasing manufacture in 1913. Pedestals executed in a combination of floral and 'mosaic', or cube parquetry, finishes were available until 1930 when the last recorded pair was supplied to the King of Egypt. Literature: Payne, Christopher. François Linke 1855-1946: The Belle Epoque of French Furniture. Antique Collectors' Club, (Woodbridge, UK), 2003. p. 40.

Louis XVI Style Mahogany Stands Attributed to François Linke, French, circa 1890
By François Linke
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A fine pair of Louis XVI style gilt bronze mounted mahogany stands, firmly attributed to François Linke. This delicate pair of mahogany pedestals or stands each have an inset green onyx top above a frieze mounted with allegorical scenes of music. The frieze contains a pull-out slide and the stands are raised on square section tapering legs headed by musical trophies and united by a shaped stretcher with a flambeau finial. An almost identical Stand, with a green onyx top, typical slender legs and shaped stretcher is illustrated by Christopher Payne in François Linke (1855-1946) 'The Belle Époque of French Furniture', p. 53, pl. 44. It is described as a Stand or gaine and titled by Linke as 'Pedestal Louis XVI acajou et bronzes dorés', index number 56. It was available with or without a slide and a drawer, priced between 400 and 500 francs. A comparable version is also shown as a pencil drawing from Linke's Daybook and illustrated in Payne, p. 474. The ribbon tied musical trophies that head the legs of each stand was a mount frequently used by Linke on a number of different items of furniture including vitrines, commodes and a Bibliothèque Louis XVI...
