Description

Francois Linke is among the most important furniture makers of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He is most noted for his commission of the Ras al-Tin Palace in Alexandria; possibly the largest single furniture commission ever conceived, eclipsing even Versailles. “F Linke” is engraved in cursive on one of the appliques. This majestic library table demonstrates the luxuriousness attributed to Linke pieces. The spectacular table has Linke’s favorite marble, bréche violette. The marble top alone is approximately 450 pounds, while the total weight of the library table is around 600 pounds. Francois Linke sourced bréche violette marble primarily from the Provence region of France. This type of marble is known for its striking purple hues and unique veining, making it a popular choice for luxury furniture and decorative arts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Notably, King Louis-Philippe of France and Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, were among his most prominent patrons, acquiring multiple pieces of Linke’s exquisite work for their palaces.

The hand-cast gilt bronze appliqués and mounts, featuring the stately Louis XIV Sun King emblem, spare no adornment. Lovely maple marquetry inlay graces the mahogany and rosewood frame. The stately legs are connected by a curved X-shaped stretcher banded with twisted bronze rope trim centered by an acanthus leaf medallion. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece features two drawers perfect for storing documents or other articles. It makes one ponder what eminent lord or lady housed this piece. It also comes with two keys that work with the original locks on the drawers. Overall, this magnificent library table cannot help but make a statement
