Description

Late 19th/early 20th century clock made of white marble and gilded mercury bronze. Porcelain dial. Signed “Linke”.

François Linke. Pankraz (Bohemia), 1855 – Paris, 1946. Important French cabinetmaker and bronze worker of Czech origin, he arrived in Paris in 1875, where in 1881 he opened his atelier in Faubourg Saint Antoine. Before achieving his success he worked for other famous cabinetmakers, and this explains the absence of works signed by him in the years of his youth. He attended the school of Decorative Arts to improve his drawing skills; around 1885 the meeting with the sculptor Léon Messagé developed his creativity and gave rise to a truly fruitful collaboration. In his very rich production he is inspired by the models of the Ancien Régime (Louis fluids of Art Nouveau; He thus obtains sumptuous and refined works, built in precious woods, rich in exuberant decorations in gilded bronze, lacquers, inlays, which demonstrate his incredible mastery and extraordinary attention to detail. His participation in the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900 with a bureau designed by the sculptor Léon Méssagé, made in bois de violette (also called king's wood, a particular precious rosewood), adorned with bronzes in Louis international, and brought him a clientele of the highest level, such as King Fouad of Egypt, who commissioned more than 1200 pieces of furniture and artistic objects from him over the years. He moved to the prestigious Place Vendôme and his success continued until the Second World War.
