Sliding Gate with Egyptian-Inspired Design, circa 1880

Ref.15566
Sliding Gate with Egyptian-Inspired Design, circa 1880

This sliding gate, adorned with Egyptian-inspired motifs, was created around 1880. At the lower section, the panels are decorated with a geometric frieze of openwork X shapes. The verticality of the uprights is emphasized by stylized flowers with long stems, whose bases are hidden by a sequence of leaves, mimicking certain Egyptian capitals or friezes. Two-thirds of the way up, the stems are interrupted by a broken horizontal line reminiscent of the hieroglyph for “water”, possibly alluding to the aquatic domain where lotus flowers thrive. Finally, at the top, three flowers crown each metal stem. Their semicircular corollas, synthesizing the multiplicity of fine petals of the lotus flower, resemble the way they were depicted in ancient Egypt. The gate combines elements of solid bronze (such as the corollas of the lotus flowers) and iron sheathed in brass (notably in the stems of the flowers). The sliding door mechanism remains fully functional.
