About the Item
An Ormolu-mounted and mahogany parquetry cabinet
by François Linke
Constructed in the Louis XV transitional manner, in mahogany parquetry work, and dressed with ormolu mounts of the finest quality, with a Breccia Verde marble platform' rising from swept cabriole legs, with ormolu sabots and foliate clasps to the knees, the cabinet is of gentle breakfront form, and having a single door, with a rich foliate ormolu pendant bouquet with swags and a 'lovers knot' bow over; male mask ormolu espagnolettes to their upper angles, with a rectangular pictorial motif to the apron of disporting putti; the marble platform, with a gentle thumbnail moulding over. Signed by the maker 'F. Linke.'
French, circa 1890.
The ormolu bouquet on the central panel is a recurring motif of Linke's œuvre, perhaps most often associated with his largest private commission, the residences of the King of Egypt.

François Linke
François Linke (1855-1946) is considered to be one of the finest ebenistes and bronziers of the 19th century. He moved from Pankratz, Bohemia where he completed his apprenticeship under the strictest of training, to Paris in 1881, setting up shop in the Place Vendome, and with his workshops in the faubourg Saint Antoine, he quickly attracted a wealthy clientele, appreciative of the excellence of his work. Specialising in the style of the ancien regime and modifying the proportions of the original works to suit the smaller Parisian apartments, he was an exhibitor at the Paris Exposition Universelles of 1878, 1889, and 1900, and at the last, a Gold Medal winner par excellence for his extraordinary Bureau du Roi.

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.

As was the practice among contemporaries and noteworthy predecessors, such as Alfred Beurdeley and Henry Dasson, Linke initially produced furniture derived from styles popular during the 18th century ancien régime. By 1900, his worldwide reputation as an individualistic master of high quality furniture was already established.
