Gallery - Emile Gallé Games Table “Thistles”

A rare solid walnut games table with rich marquetry and hot-worked thistle motifs. It opens with two leaves to reveal a burr walnut interior and a trompe-l'œil drawer in the frieze. The molded crossbars each feature a different design, and it rests on four saber legs. The table has a beautiful patinated finish; note a small repaired area of ​​wear on the interior top near a hinge.
