About the Item

This pair of French chenets from the Early 1800s is a stunning example of Egyptian Revival design. The chenets feature a stately dark patina bronze sphynx body on top of a decorated bronze dark patina table with Gilt Bronze decoration and golden legs. The sphynxes are finely detailed, with intricate carvings and engravings that showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the French designers of the Early 1800s Empire Period. The Egyptian Revival style popular in the 19th century was inspired by the artifacts and designs of ancient Egypt. The use of the sphynx as a decorative element was a common motif in this style, and these chenets are a beautiful example of this trend. In excellent condition, these chenets are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the French designers of the 19th century. They would make a stunning addition to any home, particularly those with traditional or antique décor. True works of art, the chenets will be treasured for generations to come.

Pair of Louis XVI Gilt and Patinated Bronze Sphinx Chenets
Located in Kittery Point, ME
Each with a recumbent winged sphinx with scrolling foliate arabesques to their back, upon a bow-ended rectangular gadrooned plinth, the frieze with a panel applied with entrelacs, on fluted toupie feet.
