Francois Linke (1855-1946) born in Pankraz Bohemia is considered by many as the greatest Parisian cabinetmaker of his day at a time when the worldwide influence of French fashion was at its height.

This style known as le style Linke was received with critical acclaim at the 1900 exhibition and remains popular today amongst the worldwide clientele for Linke's exquisitely made furniture.
