Q8: Do you think that museums will take more interest in Linke with the publication of François Linke 1855-1946 The Belle Epoque of French Furniture?

A: Again I hope so. Although I anticipate that prices will rise considerably, they have left it late to purchase important pieces. The only piece I was able to find on public display was Linke’s Grand Regulateur in the Flagler Museum at Palm Beach in Florida. It was on display as a part of the house furnishings rather that as an exemplary part of Linke’s oeuvre and in need of complete restoration and is missing its decorative bell. www.flaglermuseum.us
