The present bibliothèque closely resembles a model by Linke (index no. 1184) illustrated in both a project plan and photograph in C. Payne, François Linke: The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, Woodbridge, 2003, p. 444. A related bibliothèque lacking the mask and floral swag mounts was sold Christie's, London, 27 September 2007, lot 46 (£26,900).
