About the Item

This fine quality François Linke style bronze mounted petite ladies desk, circa 1870s, is a superb example of French craftsmanship from the late 19th century. With its elegant proportions and refined detailing, this desk showcases the opulence and artistry associated with the celebrated Parisian ébéniste François Linke, renowned for his luxurious furniture designs during the Belle Époque. The desk features a beautifully figured kingwood and rosewood veneer with a bookmatched pattern on the fall-front, enhanced by finely cast gilt bronze mounts in the rococo taste. The ormolu adornments, including foliate corner mounts, escutcheons, and sabots on the cabriole legs, bring a sense of richness and refinement to the piece. The fall-front opens to reveal a fitted interior with small drawers and writing space, making it both practical and decorative. Below, a single drawer provides additional storage, while the graceful curves and symmetry emphasize its feminine elegance. Ideal for use as a writing desk or as a decorative accent in a refined interior, this petite ladies secrétaire embodies the luxury and sophistication of 19th-century French design. Collectors and connoisseurs of fine antiques will appreciate its craftsmanship, artistry, and enduring charm as a Linke-inspired masterpiece.
