NOTICE
François Linke (1855-1946) was a French cabinetmaker of Bohemian origin who settled in Paris at the end of the XIXᵉ century, famous for his Regency, Louis XV and Louis XVI style furniture, often rich in floral marquetry, precious woods (mahogany, satinwood, rosewood, kingwood), gilt bronze or ormolu gilding. His work embodies the Belle Époque taste for ornamental luxury, drawing inspiration from rococo, Louis XV style and neo-classical refinement, with references to Jean-Henri Riesener and Charles Cressent. Linke regularly collaborated with decorator-sculptors such as Léon Messagé, who signed certain rocaille ornaments on his furniture. Awarded a gold medal at the 1900 Universal Exhibition, he was one of the masters of cabinetmaking and art furniture in Paris.
