A set of four French Art Nouveau nesting tables by Emile Gallé decorated with fruitwood marquetry in a motif of carlile thistle and butterflies. Each table represents a different stage of growth, with the smallest table showing the newly budded thistles. This model has particularly ornate carving in the aprons of each table. This ornament as well as the exceptional marquetry scenes on the table tops make this model of nesting tables the best that Gallé ever offered. Made in 1900-1905 and each table is signed by Gallé in inlaid marquetry.
