About the Item
An Exceptional Louis XVI Style Vitrine Cabinet
By François Linke
Index no. 421
Of elegant breakfront form, surmounted by a stepped pediment top inset with three shaped and moulded breccia marble slabs within an egg-and-dart moulded surround, the scrolled frieze above a central door of cubed bois satiné parquetry and mounted with a superb gilt-bronze figure of Erato, the Muse of Poetry, dancing with a tambourine amidst foliate scrollwork atop a classical urn supported by herm figures. The door opens to reveal an oak-lined interior with four adjustable shelves. Flanked by glazed vitrines to either side, each with bevelled glass doors and mirrored backs enclosing three glass shelves and a fabric lining, the uprights adorned with ribbon-tied foliate clasps, and raised on fluted tapering legs terminating in leaf-cast sabots. The lock signed 'Linke' and the back of the mounts bearing the initials 'FL.'
French, circa 1900
The central mount is based on a celebrated model exhibited by Christofle at the 1878 Exposition Universelle in Paris and illustrated in the Illustrated Catalogue Paris International Exhibition, p. 137. This figure of Erato is emblematic of Linke's synthesis of classical themes with Belle Époque refinement.

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.
