A Louis XVI Style Gilt Bronze Mounted Mahogany Tab

A Louis XVI Style Gilt Bronze Mounted Mahogany Table by François Linke
A Louis XVI Style Gilt Bronze Mounted Mahogany Bedside Table by François Linke. Signed to the back LINKE.
François Linke was born in Pankratz in Bohemia in 1855 and arrived in Paris at the age of twenty. He died in Paris in 1946. He was the most important Paris cabinet-maker of the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century, and possibly the most sought after cabinet maker of this period. The quality of his craftsmanship was unsurpassed and was highlighted by his spectacular stand at the Paris Exhibition Universelle in 1900, where his Grand Bureau took a gold medal. The essential theme of his work was sculptural, in a modernised Louis XV style with a hint of the contemporary 'art nouveau', contemporaries. Provenance: A Gentlemen; U.K. Adrian Alan, London. French, Circa 1890. Dimensions: Height: 83 cm / 33 inches

Good condition with the exception of normal age wear.
