An industrialist and entrepreneur of Spanish origin, Juan Higinio Aztoreca made his fortune in the exploitation of salt and sodium nitrate. He settled in Paris at the very beginning of the 20th century, in a private mansion in Neuilly-sur-Seine, which he had entirely decorated and furnished, notably with furniture from the workshop of François Linke, a cabinetmaker in vogue since the 1900 Universal Exhibition. On his death, the mansion was sold, but the furniture remained in the family. For identical models : - Christopher Payne. François Linke 1855-1946, The Belle Epoque of French Furniture. Page 161.
