AN EGYPTIAN REVIVAL POLYCHROME PAINTED ARMCHAIR EARLY 20TH CENTURY, AFTER THE 18TH DYNASTY THRONE OF TUTANKHAMUN The back decorated with the seated King Akhenaten being anointed by his wife, the seat protected by carved lion heads 101cm high, 67cm wide, 70cm deep Provenance: Acquired from Anthony Outred, London, 23 July 1999. Archaeological excavations in Egypt in the latter part of the 19th and early 20th centuries funded largely by French, British and German governments culminated in the sensational discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 and the unearthing of the golden throne of the child King/Deity who had died in 1323BC. These expeditions promoted Western interest in ancient Egypt and the fashion for all things `Egyptian' spread widely. Furniture makers responded producing a variety of items inspired more or less directly from artefacts uncovered by the excavations. One such maker, Guiseppe Parvis (d.1909), who was born in Lombardy and studied at the Accademia Albertina in Turin, settled in Cairo in 1859, establishing his business of making and selling furniture. He became known internationally, exhibiting at the Universal Expositions in Paris (1867), Philadelphia (1876), Milan (1881) and Turin (1884) where he exhibited his `Egyptian Bedroom'. A walnut and parcel-gilt armchair by Parvis was sold from a Spanish private collection Sotheby's, London 18 May 2021, lot 141 (£4410 including premium). Condition Report: Good, structurally secure, with wear and tear consistent with age and use. There are dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks, notably shrinkage in the back panel leading to a gap between panel and the left upright. There are also shrinkage cracks in both side panels. The paintwork with cracquelure throughout, scuffed and chipped. Condition Report Disclaimer

A SYCAMORE CABINET OF ARCHITECTURAL FORM BY ANTONY LITTLE With a triangular pediment above lattice doors and a rusticated base 265cm high x 220cm wide x 49cm deepTogether with a design for the cabinet, by Antony LittleDesigned by Antony Little for Villa Romani in South Africa Condition Report: The point of weakness to this cabinet is the lack of handles, this has probably lead to people using the grille doors to open and close, these are formed of slats of timber joined at the corners - several of these have become detached, five appear to still be present with the lot however three would still need to be made or sourced for a full repair. Otherwise in condition that overall reflects this pieces lack of significant age and likely light domestic use, the middle section appears to have been used for media - there is a rough hole been cut to the rear to allow for cables to enter or exit. some shelves have labels indicating 'pillowcases' etc. Some light marks, knocks, scratches, and signs of use in a domestic settingPlease see additional images for visual reference to condition and appearance Condition Report Disclaimer
