About the Item
This rare and stunning vitrine was crafted by the illustrious French ébéniste François Linke. A master of the Louis XVI style, Linke was renowned for his highly original designs that blended the opulence of Rococo with elements of the Art Nouveau. The two styles come together in perfect harmony in this exquisite vitrine, which displays all of the gilt splendor of Rococo and fluid lines of Art Nouveau.
The impressive display cabinet is adorned by beautifully chiseled and gilded bronze mounts of floral garlands and elegant scrollwork. Perfect proportion gives this beautiful vitrine a lightness in design, achievable only by a master craftsman like Linke.
Celebrated by the French as one of the greatest ébénistes of luxury furniture at the turn of the century, Linke was a master at creating original designs of exceptional quality. His presentations at the 1900 Paris Exhibition Universelle and numerous other exhibitions helped to cement his reputation as the finest furniture maker of the Belle Époque. Today, outstanding examples such as this are becoming increasingly scarce finds,
circa 1890.

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.
