Late English regency stone topped table in the Egyptianate style

About the Item

An ebonized English walnut center table in the ‘Egyptian Style” of the late Empire period. Four elongated lion legs resting atop Ivory spheres, support an inset marble top of honed limestone. The carved base paws are extremely well delineated as are the terminating carved lions’ heads with glass eyes. Stylistic elements of the regency period are evident within the pieces apron and lower cross stretchers. The ebonized finish is perfect in its slightly worn and rubbed condition. It is the patina you desire on a piece of this period in this style. The Ivory balls beneath the lions feet are perfect for the period and without yellowing or cracking. One glass eye was replaced at another time and does not match the other eyes exactly. The first Egyptian revival unfolded after Napoleon’s conquest and exploration of Egypt in the 1790’s. The publication. “Description de l’Egypte” in 1809 and onward, was the catalyst for all decorative arts in pursuit of Egyptian references sought after in fashionable European decorative arts. The second Egyptian revival erupted after Howard Carters discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 with patterns and motifs playing heavily in the decorative arts of the “Art Deco” period.

  • Blackened Bronze & Blue/Black Lacquered "Behepoda" Art Piece Cocktail Table
    By Dana Nicholson
    Located in New York, NY
    The table was in part influenced by Armand Albert Rateau and Eileen Gray. Their influence is evident in this complex piece of many art processes. Sketched while listening to Bjork’s song “Bachelorette”, (which has absolutely nothing to do with the show or dating), the table is dark and pays homage to the cephalopods of the deep and the corals near the surface, while octopus’ suckers or coral polyps break the surface. Comprised of custom cast and blacken bronze of great weight supporting an ultra-thin and hollow surface of a moonlit blue...

    By Dana Nicholson
    Located in New York, NY
    Inspired by the clever fox and the fascinating bat, the cast bronze lectern sculpture is one of three such designs by designer/artist Dana Nicholson. Sculpturally it stands on its own but it also elegantly supports art books or small drawings and paintings. It is one of a kind. The wings fold out for larger works. Treated with a rich tobacco brown patina and buffed with wax for an authentic, and historical bronze finish. Silver leaf has been applied to the raised portion of the body plate to accentuate the Celtic like design pattern. A perfect understory for that rare collector batman comic...
