The Uniqueness of Egyptian Art

Egyptian art is a truly unique art form.  There are people who have devoted their lives to the recovery, preservation and interpretation of it.  The uniqueness of this art is best explained by the fact that the Egyptians did not strive for realistic depictions.  Rather, they wanted to present powerful images.  Egyptian art was used as an expression of social order.  For example, important people were painted larger than others and the gods were depicted as larger than life.

We are pleased to offer authentic replicas of ancient Egyptian statues and other home decor items that reflect this incredible style.

Great Accents For Coffee Tables

Decorative home accents can make a significant difference to the look and feel of your home décor.  Take the ordinary coffee table.  Usually there is a lamp, maybe a vase and even some magazines.  But how about something striking and unique.  Maybe a fantastic Celtic chess set with incredibly sculpted chess pieces boasting bold dragons, magical wizards, powerful horses, tall towers, brave knights, and fair maidens. 

You might prefer a beautifully expensive-looking Egyptian box, embellished with chariots, hieroglyphs and scarabs in an overall gold effect finish, and costing you under $30.00. 

Also, an art nouveaux peacock-shaped box containing potpourri that both decorates and offers your a delicate perfume makes a beautiful addition to any room.

Any of the above will make a difference to your home décor, but to combine them into one room would definitely make your guests gasp and you would be a very popular hostess.

Unique Candle Sticks Make Great Home Accents

Candles make great home accents.  But certainly not by themselves.  They just sit there or are stuck in some type of a underwhelming holder.  What truly adds to unique and beautiful décor are candle holders and candelabras.  

Change your uninspired candle holders to beautiful white angels with lovely feathered wings and draped gowns.  Or how about solid brass replicas of the candle holders in Chartres Cathedral, substantial examples of medieval gothic art that will showcase even the best of rooms?

Oftentimes overlooked are wall candle holders.  These can be transformative such as beautiful Byzantine pendant lanterns, with vibrant purple glass held in hand-tooled metal scrolls, dropping 18 inches down from a chain and embossed bracket.  If that is too ornate, you can choose from several themes to add a dramatic look.  Check here for a unique selection of candle holders.
