About the Item
A Louis XV Style gilt-bronze mounted bureau plat by François Linke.
The rectangular top inset with a green leather writing surface with gilt-tooled border, within a gilt-bronze surround above three frieze drawers, the back with simulated drawers, on cabriole legs headed by figural busts 'têtes des guerriers antiques' and terminating in acanthus-cast sabots
The lockplate stamped 'CT LINKE SERRURERIE PARIS'
French, Circa 1890.
This palatial bureau plat is inspired by a famous model made by Charles Cressent (1685-1768) around 1740-45. The model is known as the 'bureau aux guerriers', referencing the busts to the corners which are sculpted as soldiers. The most famous example is in the Salon Doré at the Elysée Palace in Paris - where it is used by successive Presidents of France. Another, with cartonnier, was sold from the première vente de Cressent in 1749 and again in the second sale in 1757, lot 116, entering the collection of the duc de Richelieu before selling lastly, in 1788, to Lord Willoughby in London and passing by descent to Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire, where it remains. A third example formally belonging to the Princess Trivulzio and later to Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild and is today in the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon.
In the 19th century the model was revived and interpreted by the premier haut-luxe cabinetmakers of the time and versions are known by Henry Dasson, Alfred Beurdeley and, as here, François Linke.

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.
