Antique Egyptian Ornament Prints with Mythological and Architectural Detail
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Egyptian Ornament Prints with Mythological and Architectural Detail
This striking composition features two hand-colored plates from a renowned 19th-century design compendium, showcasing the beauty and complexity of ancient Egyptian ornamentation. Originally published in 1887 in Stuttgart, these chromolithographic prints come from 'Der Ornamentenschatz', one of the most influential collections of decorative art ever assembled.
The left plate highlights traditional Egyptian painting and sculpture, centering on a mythological female figure—possibly the goddess Hathor or Isis—adorned with the sun disk and cow horns, flanked by symbolic elements including the ankh (symbol of life), winged scarabs, and vibrant geometric patterns. The layout evokes the harmony and symmetry characteristic of Egyptian visual language, offering viewers a glimpse into the symbolic richness of one of the world’s oldest civilizations.
The right plate explores architectural and painted ornament, featuring monumental column capitals modeled on lotus and papyrus plants, temple wall decorations with goddesses and priests, and friezes rich in color and rhythm. The precise rendering of these motifs reflects both the scholarly accuracy and artistic flair of the original compilation. These visual references were drawn from archaeological surveys of temples and tombs, making them historically accurate as well as visually captivating.
These prints were produced using the chromolithographic technique, which allowed for vibrant, layered colors that remain striking even today. They were intended not only as a source of inspiration for artists, architects, and designers, but also as a record of the decorative heritage of global civilizations. This particular set of Egyptian plates...

Antique and Vintage Prints for Wall Decor
Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.
Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.
Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.
Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.
All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.
