Catalogue Note
Le chêne fait partie des motifs les plus appréciés d'Emile Gallé. Symbolique de renaissance, de force et de longévite, l'artiste l'associe au cycle de la vie et l'utilisera dans plusieurs de ses créations.
Oak is one of Gallé's favourite designs. The artist associates it with re-birth, strength, longevity and the cycle of life and used it in several of his creations.
