A Louis XVI Style Mahogany Vitrine Cabinet By François Linke. Paris.

About the Item

A Large and Rare Louis XVI Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Mahogany Vitrine Cabinet, By François Linke. Paris. The pediment frieze with flower-filled entrelac gilt-bronze mounts. The central glazed door with laurel branches to the top corners set on the glass. The sides with curved ‘S’-shaped glass. The interior with mirrored back and five adjustable glass shelves. Raised on tapering legs and leaf-cast sabots. Signed ‘F. Linke’ to the gilt-bronze front right corner mount. The reverse of the lockplate stamped ‘CT. LINKE / SERRURERIE / PARIS’. France. Circa 1900. The design is a contemporary rendering of the Louis XVI style evoked by François Linke circa 1900. The exemplary quality is evident in details such as the gilt-bronze laurel mounts on the glass of the front door. The curved ‘S’-shaped side panels show a design flare and technical mastery achievable only by the finest cabinetmaker. A very similar example of this vitrine can be seen in an interior scheme by Linke reproduced in C. Payne, François Linke 1855-1946, The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, Woodbridge, 2003, plates 294-5, pp. 280-1. François Linke (1855 - 1946) was the most important Parisian cabinet maker of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and possibly the most sought after cabinet maker of his period.
