About the Item

This French Egyptian Revival ebonized and gilt metal figural planter from the 1950s is a striking example of mid-century neoclassical design inspired by the grandeur of ancient Egypt. The planter is richly detailed, with four Egyptian pharaoh figures in ebonized finishes serving as symbolic bearers, each meticulously cast with regal headpieces and traditional attire. The rectangular planter box features a dramatic contrast of black lacquered surfaces with applied gilt reliefs, including a bold central motif of intertwined serpents, scarab, and spread-winged eagle—an iconic nod to Egyptian symbolism of protection, power, and eternity. The gilt edging frames the planter beautifully, while the raised base is accented with decorative molding, adding to its monumental presence. Ideal as a centerpiece planter, jardinière, or decorative statement piece, this work exemplifies the enduring fascination with Egyptian motifs that surged in popularity during the Art Deco and post-war revival periods. Perfect for collectors of Egyptian Revival furniture, French decorative arts, or mid-20th-century design, this planter offers both exotic allure and timeless sophistication, making it a conversation piece for any interior.
