Émile Gallé was a prominent French artist known for his exquisite Art Nouveau furniture, particularly his intricately designed tables that often feature marquetry and naturalistic themes. His tables are highly sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship and artistic value. This beautiful tea table is solid walnut with superb marquetry detail of snowballs and butterflies on a rosewood and macassar ebony background. Curved base with fretwork cutouts.
