After Louis Majorelle: Museale Ecole de Nancy walnut and ash table, Art Nouveau period, circa 1900 (440cm open)
Atypical shape and generous movement inspired by nature, in the spirit of Hector Guimard's designs (Paris Metro stations).
the distinctive feature of the Art Nouveau style, which emerged in France in 1889, is that curves and arabesques are no longer added, but become an integral part of the sculpture.
the exuberance of shapes, decorations and stylized sculptures earned this period the nickname "L'art nouille" ("noodle art").
a similar model of this magnificent table can be seen at the Musée de l'École de Nancy.
opens in the middle to accommodate extension leaves (1 supplied)
it rests on wide, delicately carved feet
H76x176x140 (open 438cm)
