- Artist: [GALLÉ, Émile](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/gall-mile-ra4aa7bf05de1b5>)
- Date: 1851-1900
- Technique: Jacaranda, ebony, mother-of-pearl, iridescent crown glass, 143 x 218 x 192 cm

## Commentary

Gallé created grand pieces of furniture, whose refined opulence is manifested in a subtle marquetry technique inspired by his glasswork. Exotic woods are combined with chased mounts. Dawn is represented at the foot of the bed by two winged pearly mayflies. Dusk is at the headboard with a landscape at night.
