A  Louis XV Style Bureau de Dame, by François Linke.

Signed to the bronze mount ‘F.Linke’.
Linke Index Number 1650.

This very fine and unusual bureau de dame has a shaped top above a fall-front centred by a finally cast foliate escutchon, opening to a fitted interior with two small drawers and a tooled red leather writing surface. The bureau has a shaped apron enlivened with boxwood stringing and is raised on four slender cabriolet legs headed by unusual gilt-bronze acanthus clasps and terminating in scrolled sabots.

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. 

French, circa 1900.
