Antique Egyptian Revival Carved Maple Armchair

About the Item

Antique, 19th century, Egyptian Revival, carved maple armchair with horsehair upholstery is a beautiful example of furniture made during America’s second wave of Egyptian Revival which hit during the 1870’s. Furniture designers sought to bring in motifs from other countries, like Egypt, and combine them with classical forms. This chair combines exquisitely carved Egyptian Sphinx feet with classical, geometric circles on the chair’s back and the fluting of the arms.
