Antique Egyptian Revival Style Vitrine
Egyptian Revival is (primarily) a style that references the visual motifs and imagery of Ancient Egypt. It has never been enormously common, unlike Greek revival or Victorian was, but it has left its mark. There were several waves. The first wave was inspired by Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, and was mainly limited to furniture and associated decorative objects. It developed a special popularity later in the century as being particularly appropriate in mortuary contexts, as with cemetery gates. Furniture from this style was included in the style that came to be known as Empire. This piece is an awesome example of the Egyptian style of Empire furniture. The brass ormolus on the pillars resemble Egyptian carvings. The lovely display area features a large crystal clear mirror and two shelves, perfect for showcasing your favorite collectables. The grain of the mahogany on the cabinet doors is incredible. This piece will surely become an heirloom you will want to pass on for generations.
