Overall, from the Directory to the Consulate, furniture and seating had little time to evolve. Some Egyptian-inspired motifs had already appeared, but it was with the Egyptian expedition (1798-1801) that they formed a distinct style. However, the &quot;Return from Egypt&quot; style lasted only about ten years at most: it was quickly replaced by the Empire style, imposed by Napoleon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This chest of drawers displays all the hallmarks of this style: it is veneered in mahogany and has an oak frame, the sheathed caryatids are topped with a klaft, the handles are in the shape of lion heads, the keyhole escutcheons feature palmettes and the feet are in the shape of lion paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ebenisterie-mathieuvath.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2984-1024x768.gif\" alt=\"Commode retour d'\u00c9gypte, restauration\" class=\"wp-image-1820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebenisterie-mathieuvath.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2984-1024x768.gif 1024w, https:\/\/ebenisterie-mathieuvath.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2984-300x225.gif 300w, https:\/\/ebenisterie-mathieuvath.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2984-768x576.gif 768w, https:\/\/ebenisterie-mathieuvath.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2984-700x525.gif 700w, https:\/\/ebenisterie-mathieuvath.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2984-520x390.gif 520w, https:\/\/ebenisterie-mathieuvath.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2984-360x270.gif 360w, https:\/\/ebenisterie-mathieuvath.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2984-250x188.gif 250w, https:\/\/ebenisterie-mathieuvath.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2984-100x75.gif 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Chest of drawers before restoration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first glance, this chest of drawers appears to be in good condition.
