Known as the Egyptian Revival, this movement emerged as part of a broader romantic and neoclassical interest in ancient civilizations. Following Napoleons campaign in Egypt and the publication of <em>Description de lÉgypte</em>, Europe became enamored with Egyptian motifs, leading to their incorporation into a wide range of architectural projects.</p><p>One of the most recognizable contributions of Egyptian Revival architecture is the use of obelisks and pyramid forms in public spaces and memorials. These iconic shapes, once central to Egyptian religious and ceremonial design, were reinterpreted in cemeteries, government buildings, and monuments across Europe and the United States.

Furniture, wallpaper, jewelry, and textiles adopted these styles, evoking the mystery and majesty of the Nile.
