Emile Gallé

en hêtre teinté et sculpté, le plateau circulaire légèrement polylobé à décor de fleurs, de feuillages et d'un oiseau en marqueterie de bois fruitiers, reposant sur quatre pieds fuselés

Bon état général. Léger desséchement sur l'ensemble du placage du plateau, quelques fines rayures d'usage et infimes sauts de placage. Quelques fines craquelures et légers soulèvements du placage par endroit. Petits enfoncements et coups sur les arêtes du plateau et aux pieds, d'usage. Deux très petites restaurations le long des bords. Good overall condition. Thin scratches all over the surface, consistent with use. A few thin cracks and slight uplifting to the veneer at some spaces and tiny chips to the veneer. Tiny dents and bumps to the edges of the top and to the feet all consistent with normal age and use. Two very minor restorations along the edges.
