\"art<\/a>Emulating other cultures and ancient work is not a new idea. Artists throughout history\u00a0have been\u00a0inspired by the relative uniqueness of other cultures and times. This adaptation of other aesthetics, however, became\u00a0quite a bit more common when world exploration, archaeology and increased global trade and communication made this type of inspiration more readily available to more and more artists.<\/p>\n

The 19th and 20th centuries were particularly enthusiastic about other cultures. The discoveries of ancient Egypt at the end of the 18th century spurred what is know as the Egyptian Revival\u00a0in American decorative arts. This period began sometime after Napolean’s campaign in Egypt and lasted all the way into the\u00a01920s. We have the combination of this Egyptian Revival with\u00a0the period of Art Nouveau to thank for gorgeous pieces like this hair comb and bracelet. Their creator is unknown, but the Tumblr page I found it on said\u00a0they are of French origin and are estimated to have been made\u00a0around 1900. They consist\u00a0of\u00a0gold, enamel, rubies, sapphires and ancient Egyptian scarabs noted to be glazed steatite. I just call them lovely.<\/p>\n

I wish I had a particular site to send you to in order to do some more exploring of your own, but I didn’t find anything better than a keyword search on Pinterest or Google images. So if you want to see more Egyptian Revival or Art Nouveau or the combination of these, let your fingers do the tapping and have fun getting into lots of pages of beautiful, inspiring imagery.<\/p>\n
