Linke’, 167cm, high, 166cm wide, 203cm long € 4,000 - 6,000 Provenance: Private Collection, Dublin. François Linke (1855‑1946) was born in Pankraz, Bohemia. He was a French ébéniste of the late 19th/early 20th centu- ry and is considered by many as one of the most celebrated furniture makers of the Belle Époque. His greatest source of inspiration was the ancienne régime of Louis XV and Louis XVI styles, which were revived in the designs. An association was developed with the sculptor Léon Messagé, which resulted in extravagant pieces while complimenting the latest fashion of Paris. Linke’s success came to fruition when he was awarded the Medaille d’Or for his Grand Bureau at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. This brought international acclaim and was celebrated by exhib- iting at global shows attracting distant markets. 612 A NAPOLEON III GILTMETAL AND SEVRES STYLE PORCELAIN MOUNTED KINGWOOD CENTRE TABLE The shaped top with inset floral panels with a cast egg-and-dart rim on cabriole legs and paw feet sabots, 75cm high, 147cm wide, 85cm deep Provenance: Private Collection, Dublin. € 600 - 800 613 A FRENCH GILTMETAL AND SEVRES STYLE PORCELAIN MOUNTED KINGWOOD BONHEUR DU JOUR, SECOND HALF 19TH CENTURY The superstructure with shaped mirror plate above an arrangement of small cupboards and drawers the pull out slide and drawer on cabriole legs and sabots, 145cm high, 84cm wide, 46cm deep Provenance: Private Collection, Dublin. € 800 - 1,200 614 A FRENCH GILTMETAL MOUNTED BOIS SATINE, KINGWOOD AND MARQUETRY BOOKCASE, LATE 19TH CENTURY, IN THE MANNER OF GERVAIS-MAXIMILIEN- EUGENE DURAND The pierced three-quarter gallery on a brèche d’Alep marble top, above two drawers and a gilt-tooled brown leather slide and three shelves on splayed feet and sabots, 95cm high, 76cm wide, 33cm deep Provenance: Private Collection, Dublin. € 1,000 - 1,500
