Specialist note

Interestingly, the paper label to the underside of this table refers to the packing firm of Cheylus, who Linke hired for shipping on a number of occasions, including the packing of his Grand bureau (index number 550) to Berlin in 1903 (C. Payne, François Linke: The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, Woodbridge, 2003, p. 128).
