Antique Egyptian Revival Style Bar
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. This incredible piece features a pull down serving area that contains two glass shelves, perfect for storing all your bottles and serving glasses. The two lower cabinets feature several shelves, ideal for creating additional storage. The grain of the mahogany on the cabinet doors is incredible. It is beautiful pieces of furniture such as this that make antique collecting such a joy. You are sure to love this wonderful piece. It will surely become an heirloom you will want to pass on for generations.
