Notes:
Linke title: Lit Louis XV en bois d'acajou et mosaïque fronton carquois.
One of only two examples made by Linke, this double bed, made en suite with the much earlier armoire, index number 640, retailed at 1,400 francs. The Blue Book notes that the cabinet work took 212 hours, done by Korner in December 1905, at a rate of 80 centimes per hour. The mounting of the eight kilos of bronze by Alexis took 83 1/2 hours, at the higher wage of 1 franc 11 per hour. The notes include the mosaic parquetry work by Labbé, dated January 27, 1906.
It is interesting to note that a similar bed, part of index number 1447, is shown in a photograph of the bedroom of Arabella Huntington in New York

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.

Each with a marble top above bombé sides inlaid with loose floral bouquets, the angles mounted with lion-pelts suspending laurel swags and drapery, on short foliate-clasped cabriole legs with paw-cast sabots.
François Linke: ‘Modèle Tête De Lion’
Laurel-festooned in celebration of 'abundance through labor' and hung with lion-pelts recalling Hercules's labors , there is perhaps no greater admired nor more frequently imitated master work of French furniture than Jean-François Oeben's and Jean-Henri Riesener's celebrated Bureau du Roi...

19C French Empire Style Complete Bedroom Set - Outstanding
By François Linke
Located in Dallas, TX
PRESENTING AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING 19C French Empire Style Style Complete Bedroom Suite/Set.
HIGHLY, IMPORTANT AND UNIQUE Empire Style Bedroom Suite or Set, in the Manner of Francois Linke (or similarly important Parisienne maker), from circa 1880.
The Suite/Set is almost completely original, save the bed, which was originally twin size, but professionally commissioned to be customized and converted into a Euro King Size for modern practicality. The quality of the conversion matches the quality of the suite/set.
All pieces have ormolu gilt mounted fittings; beautiful patina, beautiful parquetry; beautiful carrara marble tops, simply stunning!
About 10 years ago, I saw the ‘identical twin’ of the Commode in an Antique Store on Central Park in New York, however it had a less desirable green marble top (IMHO), and they were looking for 30k USD for the Commode, on its OWN!
This Suite/Set is SO GOOD that it is the main exhibit in our rear Showroom.
Not marked but under the marble top of the commode there are 2 signatures in pencil (1) M. Le Youters (?) and (2) M. Daneels.
You will NOT find another complete suite/set like this ANYWHERE!
AS A BONUS: We have curated and sourced (recently) a Pair of Monumental French Empire Wall Sconces which are a ‘PERFECT’ match for this bedroom set! (See pics)
These sconces are being sold separately BUT they really COMPLETE the entire bedroom!
The Suite/Set includes:
European King Size Bed (Headboard, Baseboard, side panels and central support bracket).
