The warm amber ground of the panel harmonises with the kingwood surround in a way that suggests the painter and the cabinet-maker worked in deliberate concert.

The frieze mount is an elaborate continuous scroll of acanthus centred by a mascaron mask flanked by griffins and foliate swags - a design of considerable sculptural depth. The lower painted panels depict pastoral romantic scenes in warm ochre and sienna tones characteristic of the finest Belle Époque decorative painting. François Linke (1855–1946) is widely regarded as the greatest French ébéniste of the Belle Époque, his pieces held in major museum and private collections worldwide and appearing regularly at Christie's, Sotheby's, and Drouot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vitrine forms part of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/french-furniture\"\u003eFrench antique furniture collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Hawkins Antiques.
