Marquetry table with carved legs in the form of dragon-flies

Circa 1900

Workshop of Emile Gallé, Nancy

Pear wood with a variety of inlays including mahogany, thuja and maple

The depiction of a corner of some body of water used in the decoration of the tabletop is a typical subject for Gallé and indeed for art generally in this period.
