A similar model was sold at Sotheby's in New York on October 26, 2006. François LINKE (1855-1946) was undoubtedly the most important cabinetmaker of his time. Initially apprenticed to his hometown of Pankraz in Bohemia, Linke arrived in Paris in 1875 and founded his own studio in 1881 at 170 rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, later creating a branch at 26 place Vendôme. Linke's international reputation was already well established when the 1900 World's Fair was held in Paris, his talent and creativity remaining unparalleled: the Exposition crowned his success and strengthened the financial stability of his company, allowing him to conquer new markets abroad. Like his contemporaries such as Beurdeley and Dasson, his production included copies and pastiches inspired by the successive styles of the eighteenth century or the most famous royal furniture, but was also illustrated in the design of exuberant works, mixing Louis XV style and Art Nouveau. Linke collaborated with a famous sculptor, Leon Messagé. In 1904 he became an Officer of Public Instruction, and participated in the Exposition of St. Louis in the United States. In 1905, he was appointed juror of the Liège Exhibition and, on October 11, 1906, received the Legion of Honor.
