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 is especially desirable for its timeless palette of ochre, blue, red, and green, which continues to resonate in contemporary interiors.
Condition:
The print is in good antique condition. Colors are vivid and well-preserved. There are no tears or major stains, and the margins remain clean and intact. The reverse is blank.
Framing Suggestions:
To enhance its impact, frame with a generous off-white or sand-colored mat to allow the intense colors and symmetrical design to stand out. A thin gold or matte black frame adds a touch of elegance without competing with the print's richness. Museum-grade UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the pigment. This piece looks exceptional alone or paired with other prints from the same series to create a curated wall of historic ornamentation.
Ideal for collectors of antique prints, interior decorators, or anyone fascinated by the art and symbolism of ancient Egypt.
