Rare and exquisite, this tea table signed by Émile Gallé exemplifies the mastery of Art Nouveau woodworking. Featuring two tiers adorned with a magnificent floral marquetry design, it stands on sculpted foliage-adorned legs connected by a stretcher, showcasing the artist’s meticulous craftsmanship. Its removable carved handles add both elegance and functionality to this exceptional piece. Accompanied by its glass tray, this iconic creation, identical to a model held in the Musée d'Orsay, reflects the refinement and ingenuity of the renowned glassmaker and cabinetmaker.
