Catalogue Note
There is no exact glass negative for this cabinet. However, it may be a variation of Linke index number 833 with elaborate floral marquetry on the two doors, a top à gorge and a platform stretcher. The bronzes are very good quality and consistent with Linke’s output. Other locks have been seen by Duvivier on early Linke and Krieger furniture, a locksmith in the same street as Linke’s and Zwiener's workshops in the Faubourg St. Antoine.
