About the Item
Egyptian Revival ebony and inlaid settee, late 19th century
"Of architectural form with geometric borders and inlaid with fruitwoods, ivory, mother of pearl and wire, the carved giltwood cresting rail in the form of serpents centred by a tablet inlaid with a winged bird, probably the symbol of the Egyptian Goddess, Nekhbet, clutching a payrus stalk, the padded back between two moulded cartouches depicting Horus and Iris, the arm supports in the form of Canopic jars surmounted by the head of Anubis, with a padded seat and shaped legs terminating in paw feet.
Measures: 26" deep x 56" wide x 45.5" high x 18" seat height
In the nineteenth century, the Egyptian Revival became fashionable following the Napoleonic campaigns in Egypt with the publication of Voyage (1802) by Vivant Denon, and Déscription (1809-28). Moreover, the vogue for Egyptianism was greatly influenced by drawings, writings, and photographs of travellers to the Nile and further fuelled by the Egyptian Court at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 and the important exhibition of Egyptian antiquities in New York in 1852. Brass lion's and leopard's feet, sphinx heads and paws, lotuses and palms, scarabs, winged globes, and plyon forms were often employed in furniture especially in France where the Empire style had come to fruition.
A similar suite of furniture was sold Sotheby's, London, 14 May 1999, lots 235-238 attributed to Maurice Laville and possibly exhibited at the Paris Exhibition in 1900, but unfortunately cannot be traced in the catalogue." *
