François Linke (1855-1946)
François Linke was the most celebrated ébéniste of the late 19th and early 20th-century Belle Époque period. His furniture is highly prized for its exceptional craftsmanship and refined design. Like many of his contemporaries, Linke produced pieces reviving the French historical styles of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI. However, he also pioneered entirely new designs in collaboration with the sculptor Léon Messagé. Described as Le Style Linke, these creations blend Rococo exuberance with the fluidity of Art Nouveau and were unveiled to great acclaim at the 1900 Paris International Exhibition.

François Linke
François Linke, the most important French ébéniste of his time. Born in Bohemia in 1855, Linke moved to Paris in 1881 where he established his now-famous workshop and showroom. Linke's superior work spread quickly through France and he soon eclipsed even the finest furniture houses of Paris. Today, Linke is counted among the most important furniture makers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his work is dearly coveted by collectors. Linke is celebrated for designing highly innovative furnishings by infusing the Rococo style with the Art Nouveau trends of Paris and this Louis XV style desk exemplifies his highly original style.

François Linke (d. 1946) was awarded the gold medal for his Grand Bureau at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. He was the most celebrated Ébéniste of his time. Born in Bohemia in 1855, he moved to Paris in 1881. He produced furniture of the highest quality at his workshops at 170, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, and established showrooms at 26, Place Vendme.
