Flushed with money? What about marquetry commode?
A PAIR of marquetry commodes by the Czech-born, French-based cabinet maker Francois Linke, who had a shop at Place Vendome in Paris prior to World War 11, is one of a number of highly collectible lots at Sheppards three day sale in Durrow next week.
Linke received the Gold Medal for his Grand Bureau at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900 and his work is much sought after. The commodes are estimated at up to €180,000. Around 1950 lots of period furniture, fine art, decorative art and Asian art will come under the hammer.
