Born in 1855 in the Czech Republic, Linke moved to Paris in 1875, where he began working with the established cabinetmaker Joseph-Emmanuel Zweiner. Towards the end of the 19th Century, taste for the late French Ancien Régime style was at its height. Linke played an important role in the revival of the Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture styles, which greatly enhanced his reputation.
