About the Item

The twin front doors, concealing a single shelf interior, each centered with an applied spray of flowers and hummingbirds within an acanthus trim, the apron pair of drawers with ormolu mounts depicting a whimsical and playful pair of baby Bacchus carrying a putto on a bed of vines, grapes and leaves, each flanked by a pair of heptagon ormolu handles. The sides with similar apron mounts above a large ormolu bouquet of flowers, all raised on four fluted and ormolu mounted legs. Unsigned, Paris, circa 1920-1930. François Linke (1855-1946): Considered the finest French cabinet maker of the late 19th and early 20th century. By 1875, Linke who was born in Pankraz Bohemia, had arrived in Paris and established an independent workshop. His early works were mainly copies of important eighteenth century models. Linke received major attention at the Paris Exposition Universelle when he presented his totally new style, of Rococo with the addition of the new ‘art nouveau’ fluidity. He was awarded the gold medal for his extraordinary Grand Bureau. Linke also exhibited at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, Liege in Belgium, and the Franco-British exhibition in London in 1908. His work has long been admired for its exceptional quality and innovative interpretation of the Louis XV and Art Nouveau styles. Stamp: Engraved signature: “F.Linke”, “FL” , “LINKE”.
