Egyptian Revival is a decorative and architectural style inspired by the art and monuments of Ancient Egypt. Popularised following Napoleon\'s Egyptian campaign and later renewed after the discovery of Tutankhamun\'s tomb in 1922, the style incorporates motifs such as sphinxes, lotus flowers, scarabs, obelisks and hieroglyphics. Egyptian Revival influenced furniture, lighting, jewellery and architecture throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. *Related Terms*\ Art Deco, Empire Style, Neo-Classicism, Obelisk, Sphinx.
