No, it only began that way. The Egyptian revival in decorative arts was a large movement, parallel to the Egyptian revival in architecture. It will take a while to develop a good article, I've only made a start today. The article will be useful as a parallel to the existing article on Egyptian revival architecture. Be patient. We are talking about astonishing artifacts: black and gold tea services in the shape of sphinxes, sterling silver pyramid centerpieces, sofas and chairs with Isis standing in for legs and the winged sun in gold eaf on the chari back. it will be fun. don't be so jumpy about taking incipient articles down.Egyptomania (talk) 16:09, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Also more recent - there will probably be a section on the use of Egyptian motifs by Lalique and Tiffany at the fin de siecla - fabulous stuff. Some of it on display this month at the De Young in San Francisco.Egyptomania (talk) 16:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
