Very interesting and rare Travel Psyche made of mahogany and mahogany veneer on an oak frame. It rests on four Egyptian legs topped with a box opening with a drawer revealing a paper clip and a leather pad for writing while traveling. The upper part has a mirror. It is a small piece of travel furniture, allowing its owner to do their hair, shave, put on makeup and write their letters. A return-from-Egypt style master piece of furniture By its size, it is a small piece of furniture, unique in a miniature format allowing travel. With its very architectural shape and Egyptian-style feet, our Psyche perfectly illustrates the return from Egypt style in vogue under the imperial regime until the years 1806-1807. This style derives directly from the boards and antiquities brought back by the Egyptian expedition led by Napoleon, then accompanied by great scholars such as Vivant Denon or Champillion Condition report: Very good general condition, a little play in the fixing of the mirror, some tiny gaps in veneer.
