Book Description | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Jewelry and decorative manufactured goods in Egyptian Revival style
capitalized on public fascination resulting from the rediscovery of
Egyptian monuments and artifacts in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. Museum exhibitions, movies, and political events popularized
Egyptian architectural designs throughout the world. This is the first
book of its kind to focus on revival consumer goods inspired by the
ancient culture, including jewelry. Over 400 color photographs and line
drawings depict beautiful examples with symbols and images of Egyptian
design. Bold colors of natural pigments created the pallets that modern
manufacturers used. Images of stylized insects, hieroglyphics, sphinx,
royal symbols, and geometric patterns are explored. The manufacturers
are introduced with pertinent information that collectors will
reference. A chronology of Egyptian history identifies the kingdoms and
their relevant styles. This should be an important reference for
designers, historians, and ornamental collectors alike. The values with
the captions reflect the market today, and the glossary and index are
useful for all.
