Description
François LINKE (1855–1946). A large display cabinet in veneered wood, opening via two doors with latticework decoration and a central glazed section with recessed panels. It rests on four curved legs finished with gilded bronze feet decorated with scrollwork. Richly ornamented with chiselled bronze, featuring foliage motifs, satyr masks and women’s faces. Top in Aleppo breccia marble. Signed on the bronze (front right upright). Date: second half of the 19th century. Inspired by the work of Charles CRESSENT. 166.5 x 167.5 x 49 cm. François Linke was born in Bohemia and is regarded as one of the greatest cabinetmakers of the late 19th century. In 1881, he opened his own workshop at 170 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, followed by a studio on the Place Vendôme. The Ancien Régime was his main source of inspiration, whether in the Louis XV or Louis XVI styles, which he reproduced with great skill. François Linke was subsequently inspired by the Art Nouveau style, which he later blended with the Rococo style. He was honoured by critics at the 1900 Paris World’s Fair and was awarded the Legion of Honour six years later.
