François LINKE (1855-1946), one of the most important ebenists of the Parisian “Belle Epoque”, came from Pankraz (Bohemia / Austria-Hungary). After studying furniture making in Vienna for two years, he first went to Germany and then to France in 1875, where he worked as a laborer for the well-known cabinetmaker Antoine KRIEGER.After a short stay in Vienna in 1879, he returned to Paris to set up his own studio in 1881.
Initially he produced for his former employer A. Krieger, but he quickly built up his own clientele thanks to his outstanding quality. His collaboration with the sculptor Léon Messagé, who was responsible for the design of the bronzes, was decisive for his future style and stellar career. Together they put together a collection for the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 that made Linke world-famous. He succeeded in creatively combining the classic Louis XV style with Art Nouveau. Works by François Linke are represented in all the world’s major museums and are highly sought-after on the art market.
