Egyptian Art

Different types of decor lend different feelings and character to a home. When a house is decorated with Egyptian art, it demonstrates classic, royal elegance. Use medieval home decor and the interior of your place begins to take on the appearance and storied sentiments of a noble's castle. Animal garden statues add a bit of natural beauty to a backyard while other types of decor can turn your home into a place of magic and enchantment. One such type of decor is the greenman.

In blending a human-like face with wood, stone, or other elements, Greenman decorations look nothing short of magical. It seems as if they might talk at any moment and challenge the observer to touch them to see if they will respond (or maybe even bite!).

Greet guests at the front door with the Sutherland House Door Knocker. Cast from foundry iron, this classic, authentic door knocker is a replica of an original, bearded greenman, nineteenth century English antique.

Inside the home, put your own magic mirror on display with the Forest Spirits Wall Mirror. This greenman decor will remind you of ancient, legendary forests where gnarled old oaks come to life and tall Sugar Maples whisper as you walk beneath their leafy boughs.

Ancient Egypt was one of the first big civilizations that we know of and although the dynasties of the pharaohs disappeared more than 2,000 years ago, their legacy lives on. Thousands of tourists marvel over the Great Pyramids to this day and ancient Egyptian artwork in particular is so appreciated that millions of people decorate their homes and businesses with Egyptian inspired items. It only takes one look at stunning ebony and gold Egyptian decor to see why this style of art continues to be popular in modern times. The combination of jet black highlighted with bright gold gives an elegant, classic look to any home.

The bust is an interesting and intimate art form. Instead of showing the full figure of the subject, the entire focus is on the head and especially the face. Although shoulders are also frequently depicted, they are really there to help frame and support the focus of the sculpture. Marble busts were especially popular during the era of the Roman empire but the bust made its appearance much earlier on. One of the earlier known busts is that of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti. Pharaohs, other Egyptian nobility, and many of the Egyptian pantheon were likewise immortalized in bust form. Although that ancient culture died out centuries ago, fortunately, it continues to inspire modern artists to create stunning works of art to this day.

One such work of art is the Queen Cleopatra Neoclassical Sculptural Bust. Modeled after a museum replica, this beautiful bust probably provides an accurate depiction of the real Cleopatra. Polished with a smooth basalt finish, painted with antiqued faux gold, and adorned with a feathered headdress topped with a cobra, this detailed bust will be the centerpiece of any room.

Other Egyptian busts destined to be one of the highlights of any Egyptian decorations collection are the busts of King Ramses II and Queen Nefertiti.

There's no place like home. Whether living in a small studio apartment, a four bedroom house, or walking the halls of a veritable mansion, the home is the place we fill with our happiness, difficult times, friends, and memories. No matter how big or small, it acts as our own, personal palace so it only makes sense to adorn the walls with royal decor.

While one person's decorations of distinction might never make it past someone else's front door, there's no denying the royal character of Egyptian decorations. The pharaohs and nobility of ancient Egypt filled their homes with works of art that glittered with gold leaf and shone with the striking colors of lapis lazuli and carnelian. Although the noble families of ancient Egypt died out over 2,000 years ago, the stunning artwork from their era lives on in the form of stunning Egyptian tables and wall decor such as the Tutankhamen Cartouche Sculptural Wall Frieze. Fit for a king, this historic replica of a cartouche of King Tut will be one of the most exciting, textured works of art to grace the walls of your home.

Match it with another, even more decorative Royal Cartouche Sculptural Frieze that shows a scene from King Tut's royal throne room.

Find these beautiful decorations and hundreds of other items fit for royalty at the Design Toscano site.

We all have our favorite animal. Some people have a penchant for horses while others love everything dogs. Then there are those who can't get enough of cats. They may have a pet cat or two but take their appreciation for felines a step further by displaying beautiful sculptures and paintings of Tabbies, Siamese Cats, and other breeds. Cats can sit still for so long that they kind of resemble living statues all on their own. As they exude an enviable Zen-like elegance, their sleek proportions make them easy to admire and excellent subjects for garden statuary.

The ancient Egyptians considered cats to be sacred and trained Cheetahs for the hunt. They showed their love of cats with many a painting and sculpture. Continue the tradition with Stalking the Savannah Cheetah Statue for the garden and the beautiful Charging Cheetah Wall Frieze for the inside of both home and business. Both of these works of art demonstrate the grace and speed of the world's fastest land animal in detailed beauty.

The Shadowed Black Panther Statue is another animal yard statue most for anyone who appreciates the deadly beauty of a cat on the prowl. As a word of warning, it might take some time to get used to this beautiful statue on account of its detailed realism and penetrating, green eyes!

Find these and other realistic animal garden sculptures at Design Toscano.

Chairs can be simple, wooden, seats sans frills or they can be regal, sculpted thrones. Both types of chairs were used during Medieval times but only the royalty could afford thrones and chairs that doubled as sculpted works of art. In modern times, the average person can afford to sit in royal splendor at gorgeous Gothic tables. No need to rest in simple uncomfortable chairs when you can lounge in luxury in the beautiful San Lorenzo Renaissance Cross-Frame Chair. Modeled after chairs that were reserved for nobility and other members of the ruling class in medieval Italy, this striking piece of furniture is made of polished hardwood and shows sculpted lion's heads on its arms. Use it as a throne when watching your favorite shows, playing cards, or entertaining guests.

You can treat your guests like royalty with this authentic replica of the  Lord Cumberland Throne. This solid, wide cushioned seat is regally carved in the Georgian style and has a comfortable, hand-tacked leather cushion. Since Lord Cumberland needed a chair that was equally fit for both visiting kings and queens, he had one spindle carved in the likeness of a king's head and the other depicting a queen.

Buy these high-quality replicas of antique furniture and Egyptian tables between today and Thursday, October 4th, and get 20% off the regular price!

Tables can act as works of art and nothing might indicate this better than Egyptian revival furniture. The style and beauty of Egyptian art works wonderfully on furniture because it can be incorporated into sculpted table legs, columns, table supports, and the table top itself. Examples include beautiful statues of Egyptian servants and deities that hold up a glass table top or tables decorated with bas-relief sculptures.

One of the most interesting pieces of Egyptian furniture is the glass-topped Reneutet Egyptian Cobra Goddess table. To the ancient Egyptians, the cobra was seen as a sign of protection, so it was often used to represent Reneutet, the Goddess that Protects. As she rears up to show her hood, this cobra also reveals a beautiful underbelly colored with faux lapis, onyx, gold, and carnelian. The rest of her scaled likeness is faux gold and she makes for a stunning, unique side table in any room.

The Temple of Khafre Ornamental side table is a beautiful designer resin table that depicts Anubis, temple priests, and hieroglyphs with stunning effect. Hand-painted in faux gold and silver, it is named after (and does justice to) Khafre, the legendary builder of the huge pyramids and other Egyptian monuments.
