The ancient Egyptians formed the first of the great classical civilizations. While most of Europe was still in the Stone Age, the Egyptians were building palaces, studying mathematics and writing on papyrus. They were great builders and great artists, drawing the inspiration for their art from nature. A complex social and religious structure was in place.
More is known about the history of furniture in Egypt than anywhere else in the ancient world. By the New Kingdom, Egyptian furniture was greatly prized and was often sent as tribute to the rulers of surrounding countries.
The Egyptian style had a great influence on later craftsmen. Great craftsmen themselves, the Egyptians, were adept at furniture construction. Wood carving, as an art form, includes any kind of sculpture in wood, from the decorative bas-relief on small objects to life-size figures in the round, furniture and architectural decorations. The woods used vary greatly in hardness and grain. The most commonly employed woods include boxwood, pine, pear, walnut, willow, oak, and ebony. The tools are simple gouges, chisels, wooden mallets and pointed instruments. With respect to both construction and design, the methods used in ancient Egypt are followed wherever furniture is made today. For larger pieces, particularly seating and tables, the mortise-and-tenon construction familiar in ancient Egypt is still in use. Delicate boxes and chests were joined by dovetailing, a technique that persists in today’s contemporary work. One ancient Egyptian stool 2800 BC, illustrated on a wooden panel seen at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo from the tomb of Hesire, has animal legs as the supports. It does not differ much from a chair 1325 BC, from the tomb of the New Kingdom pharaoh Tutankhamen.
The dry Egyptian climate and elaborate burial procedures are in part responsible for the survival of pieces, which include stools, tables, chairs, and couches. In addition, wall paintings give insight into the design of Egyptian furniture.
Illustrations from wall paintings suggest the broad scope of decoration used on furniture. Gold sheets were applied to legs of chairs and tables; inlays of ivory and other materials were employed on panels of chests and other surfaces. The motifs of forms with legs as anthropomorphic and of storage pieces as buildings in miniature were popular in ancient Egypt and in succeeding cultures.
The furniture manufactured in the royal workshops was not very different in design to that used by the middle classes. However, they were exquisitely embellished with gold sheet, inlaid with colored stones and faience or veneered with ebony and ivory. They were also adorned with the Uraeus and the symbols of Kingship. Marquetry or parquetry patterns are carved and inlaid with thousands of slivers of colored wood. The illustrious examples of this furniture was discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamen ( 1336-1327 BC).
Egypt was eventually conquered by Alexander the Great, and later by the Romans. Both the Greek and Roman conquerors were significantly influenced by Egyptian culture, art and philosophy, so that to some extent it was a case of the conquerors being civilized by the conquered.
Finishing & Quality
All masterpieces produced by Nefertiti Egypt are created using the same techniques used by master woodworkers and ebenists for over 500 years. We also use veneers to improve the appearance of woods of inferior quality. Imported African ebony, and ivory, sometimes color-stained, provides two sources of veneer. We use only the finest woods for carving, primarily beech wood from Russia and Swedish pine. Our furniture has pinned mortise and tenon joints for strength and ornate detailing. Our cabinets have cross rails dovetail into end panels to fortify their doors side to side. Tongue and groove paneling ensures tabletops and doors feel seamless. Most wood carving is done by hand, giving each piece its’ own individuality.
The beauty of every piece of furniture is enhanced by its’ finish. Each piece is hand-rubbed and polished using an all natural shellac, French Polish and beeswax to create a lasting color and a rich, and a warm patina that will continue to enhance luster of each piece over time.
