François Linke (1855-1946), born in Pankraz in Bohemia, is considered by many to be the greatest Parisian cabinetmaker of his time, at a time when the global influence of French fashion was at its peak. The Ancien Régime has always been the greatest source of inspiration for artistic design in France and, influenced by the de Goncourt brothers among others, the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles were revived with wide popular appeal. Under the Second Empire, these styles are so eclectic that they deteriorate. Linke wanted to create a fresh new style and his association with the enigmatic sculptor Léon Messagé, resulted in a series of highly original designs, based on the rococo style fused with the latest fashion in Paris, art nouveau. This style, known as the Linke style, was critically acclaimed at the 1900 Exposition and remains popular today among worldwide clientele for Linke’s exquisite furniture. The book, with 140,000 words of text and over 700 unique photographs.
