France
An exceptional Louis XV-style, four-piece bedroom suite by François Linke, the most celebrated and influential French ébéniste of his time. Beautifully embellished with bronze work of the highest order, this bedroom suite is crafted of choice mahogany and comprises a king-size bed, a double-door armoire, a marble top chest with mirror and a marble top bedside commode.
Today, Linke is counted among the most important furniture makers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and fine examples such as this, bearing the Linke signature, are becoming increasingly scarce.To find a complete bedroom suite of such exceptional quality and beauty, by this famous maker, is even more remarkable.

M. (F.) Linke's work was original in the true sense of the word, and as such commended itself to the intelligent seeker after the really artistic things of the Exhibition. Wonderful talent was employed in producing the magnificent pieces of furniture displayed..."
-The 1900 Paris Exhibition Art Journal
For Linke, winning the coveted Gold Medal at the 1900 Paris Exhibition Universelle confirmed his already solid reputation as France's leading ébéniste. His work had long been admired for its exceptional quality and unique interpretation of the Louis XV style. Born in Bohemia in 1855, Linke moved to Paris in 1881 where he established his now-famous workshop and showroom. Word of Linke's superior work spread quickly through France and he soon eclipsed even the finest furniture houses of Paris. Today, Linke is counted among the most important furniture makers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and fine examples such as this, bearing the Linke signature, are becoming increasingly scarce.To find a complete bedroom suite of such exceptional quality and beauty by this famous maker is even more remarkable.
