This title is the homage of a modern furniture designer to the ancient Egyptian art of furniture-making. Dan Svarth has studied ancient Egyptian furniture in the National Museum in Cairo, measuring and drawing. Based on these drawings the author has produced models in scale 1:5 and selected types are illustrated by photographs of these models. The chapters deal with a wide range of furniture such as biers and beds, chairs, stools, tables, chests and caskets. The book has chapters on materials, tools and technique, with illustrations of the ancient tools as well as selected joints used by ancient Egyptian furniture-makers.

Egyptian furniture,
By "brucebook" (Austin, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Egyptisk Mobelkunst Fra Faraotiden/Egyptian Furniture Making in the Age of the Pharaohs (Hardcover)
As a bibliophile, I was elated to receive this book as a present a couple of years ago. I have the hard cover edition and it is one of the finest books in my collection for both content and the actual book itself (binding, cover, quality of paper, typography, layout). I build reproductions of Egyptian furniture from the Pharaoic age and have found the illustrations and descriptions very helpful for my craft. I highly reccomend this fine book. ...B.
