The elaborately openwork top piece features two female figures turned in Michelangelo-style and is crowned by a putto, enthroned dramatically on a jardinière. Dimensions approx. 215 x 125 cm. François Linke (1855 - 1946) is regarded as one of the most significant Parisian ébenistes, or cabinetmakers, of the Rococo or Classicist period. In 1881, Linke opened his own cabinetmaking workshop in the local centre of Paris, which enjoyed long-lasting success.
