This spectacular vitrine is the product of an exceptional collaboration between Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener and François Linke, two of the most respected and talented ébénistes of the late 19th century. Known for their elaborate interpretations of the rococo, this vitrine is hallmarked by the robust doré bronze mounts and richly grained kingwood both craftsmen employed in their imaginative works. In terms of artistry, size and condition, this vitrine serves as a testament to the incomparable skills of the finest furniture makers of the 19th century and the time-honored trade of the ébéniste.
