Description
Egyptian Revival Jewelry & Design This book explores the revival of Egyptian-inspired consumer goods, including jewelry, that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The rediscovery of Egyptian monuments and artifacts sparked public fascination, leading to a surge in popularity for Egyptian architectural designs worldwide. Over 400 color photographs and line drawings showcase beautiful examples of Egyptian design, featuring symbols, images, and motifs such as sylized insects, hieroglyphics, sphinx, and royal symbols. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Egyptian Revival style, including a chronology of Egyptian history and information on the manufacturers who created these designs. The images and descriptions are accompanied by a glossary and index, making the book a valuable resource for designers, historians, and ornamental collectors. With its unique focus on revival consumer goods, this book is an important reference for anyone interested in the history of design and the cultural exchange of the time.
