François Linke (1855–1946) — Small Louis XV-style Table — Circa 1905
Artist: François Linke
A magnificent small Louis XV-style table crafted by master artisan François Linke, circa 1905.
Materials: Violet wood, rosewood, and gilded bronze.
A distinctive feature of this rare piece is that a bronze trim on the drawer has been removed to reveal the mark FL of the master model, while the frame bears the false stamp Sormani.
This is one of four small tables featured on consecutive pages of the Blue Daybook (Linke’s workshop register), under archive numbers 1046, 340, 1047 (this piece), and 1048. The preserved glass negatives clearly show that this table was manufactured two, or even three times, with marquetry supplied by Labbé.
