About the Item
A Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Bureau de Dame, by François Linke.
Signed to the bronze mount ‘F.Linke’.
Linke Index Number 1650.
This very fine and unusual bureau de dame has a shaped top above a fall-front centred by a finally cast foliate escutchon, opening to a fitted interior with two small drawers and a tooled red leather writing surface. The bureau has a shaped apron enlivened with boxwood stringing and is raised on four slender cabriolet legs headed by unusual gilt-bronze acanthus clasps and terminating in scrolled sabots.
The bureau de dame (Linke index No.1650), embodies the hallmarks of Linke's oeuvre: the natural beauty of exotic woods alongside luxuriously chiselled gilt-bronze mounts. The smart design of this item possibly points to the assistance of the sculptor Léon Messagé who provided Linke with original sketches for furniture pieces and gilt-bronze mounts. Here, the disposition of the veneers creates interesting visual effects and the gilt-bronze mounts enjoy a dual function, both as a subtle framing tool and a key element within the overall design. The central rocaille mount on the fall-front door appears to have been used for other Linke furniture pieces, for example on the front of a commode index no. 620 (C. Payne, François Linke, 1855-1946 - The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, Woodbridge, 2003, p. 417).
French, circa 1900.

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.
