Kahn & Cie. were highly skilled & respected cabinetmakers that produced & sold the most celebrated French eighteenth-century models after models by Weisweiler, Stockel, Benneman, Cressent, Gaudreaux and Riesener. Kahn was also known to have produced and sold the Edwardian furniture fashionable at that time in London. In England, his company was advertised as E. Kahn & Co.

To Kahn's credit, François Linke allowed one of his most important creations, the grand bureau, index number 550, for which he won a gold medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle, to be illustrated in his London brochure.
