A pair of trefoil form, two-level, French Art Nouveau boudoir tables, signed by famed furniture designer Louis Majorelle (1859-1926). The complex texture of the leaves, in rich detail, in three wood species, entirely hand-crafted out of solid woods intricately is not only lovely, but demonstrative of the highest level of workmanship.

École de Nancy, or the Nancy School, was a group of Art Nouveau artisans and designers working in Nancy, France between 1890 and 1914. Major figures included the furniture designer Louis Majorelle, ebonist and glass artist Jacques Grüber, the glass and furniture designer Émile Gallé, and the crystal manufactory of Daum. Their work was largely inspired by floral and vegetal forms found in the region. The goal of the group was to produce ordinary objects, such as furniture, glassware, and pottery, with fine craftsmanship and in original forms, making art objects available for people's homes.

It is quite unusual and uncommon to find a matched pair of exceptional tables, both signed, from the Art Nouveau period. See less
