French Napoleon II mahogany and gilt bronze center desk circa 1855
Located in Milano, IT
French center desk with solid mahogany veneer frame decorated with mercury-gilt bronzes such as sphinx heads, lion paws and friezes. Top covered in leather. Two drawers. Napoleon III era, Second Empire, ca. 1851/55. Dimensions: H. 77 cm. L. 135 cm. D. 70 cm. Notes Under the influence of Marie Antoinette, French artists began to draw inspiration from the 18th-century archaeological discoveries made in the Mediterranean during the time of Louis XVI. After the Revolution of 1789, under the Consulate of Napoleon Bonaparte (1799-1804), the Egyptian campaign drew even more attention to one of the cradles of civilizations. The "retour d'Egypte" style culturally and artistically had great success in France and Europe and reached as far as Russia; but much of this "Egyptomania" was politically driven to divert attention from the military failure of this campaign (defeat at Abukir, destruction of the French fleet by Admiral Nelson). The peak of this style's success was reached when the book "voyages dans le Basse et la Haute Egypte pendants les campagnes du general Bonaparte" by Dominique Vivant Denon...
