Gallery - Emile Gallé Japanese-style shelf “Foliage, Butterfly and Insects”

Superb Japanese-style shelf in molded and carved beechwood with an asymmetrical frame. The upper shelf features curved and openwork edges, the three central shelves are supported by uprights decorated with reeds, and the lower shelf rests on four cabriole feet inspired by plant motifs. It is decorated with marquetry of foliage, flowers, butterflies, and insects. In very good original condition with a magnificent waxed finish.
