£45,000 François Linke Desk from The Crown!

Imagine owning a real 19th-century French desk worth £45,000. One that actually appeared in Netflix’s The Crown. In this video, Arthur from Knight Fine Antiques & Collectables takes you through an extraordinary François Linke bureau plat with remarkable royal, cinematic, and collector provenance. This desk is a museum-level piece: crafted around 1889 by François Linke, the greatest cabinetmaker of the Belle Époque, formerly part of the celebrated Estelle Doheny Collection in America, and later used as a screen prop — including in The Crown (Season 4, Episode 9). Arthur breaks down: • What a bureau plat is • Why this desk represents peak 19th-century French craftsmanship • The story of François Linke and his global commissions • The extraordinary Doheny provenance • How this exact desk was identified on screen Whether you’re an antique collector, a fan of The Crown, or simply love exceptional craftsmanship, this video is a fascinating deep dive into art history, design, and provenance research.
