About the Item

A very fine set of twelve French 19th-20th century Louis XVI style Belle Époque mahogany and ormolu-mounted dining chairs. The rounded and padded backrests and sides, surmounted with a banded gilt bronze trim and medallions, raised on fluted legs with acanthus sabots. The frames stamped "FL", attributed to François Linke, Paris, circa 1900. Please note that these chairs are being sold as frames ready for upholstery, only two of them have been upholstered as a way to show what the frames will look like after they are upholstered. The frames have been recently been refinished and restored and the gilt bronze mounts cleaned. Measures: Chairs height: 38 1/4 inches (97.2 cm) Chairs width: 21 inches (53.4 cm) Chairs depth: 23 inches (58.4 cm) Seat height: 19 3/4 inches (50.2 cm) François Linke (1855-1946) was undoubtedly the most important Parisian ébéniste of his time. Having served an apprenticeship in his hometown of Pankraz, Bohemia, Linke arrived in Paris in 1875 and set up independent workshops at 170, rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine in 1881 and later also at 26, Place Vendôme. By the time of the Paris 1900 Exposition Universelle, Linke's worldwide reputation as a master of high individualism and inventiveness was already established and unmatched by his contemporaries. His success at the 1900 Exhibition afforded Linke a high degree of financial stability and allowed him to pursue new markets by exhibiting at subsequent international fairs. Like the inventories of contemporaries such as Beurdeley and Dasson, Linke's oeuvre included copies and adaptations of the distinct styles of 18th century important and royal French furniture. His most extravagant exhibition pieces, however, combined the Louis XV style with the new Art Nouveau style. Linke's frequent collaborator for his designs was the celebrated sculptor Léon Messagé. In 1904, he was made Officier de L'Instruction Publique, and in 1905 he was called to be a member of the Jury of the Liège exhibition. Following his stands in the St. Louis (U.S.A.) exhibition in 1904 and the Liège exhibition in 1905, Linke was decorated with the highest distinction of France, the Croix de la Légion d'Honneur, on October 11, 1906.
