Description
The "Inlay Hermopolis Set of 4" is a captivating blend of history and artistry. Encased in antique gold wooden frames with clear glass, each piece measures L. 53 cm by W. 43 cm and D. 4.5 cm. Crafted from hand-casted and painted plaster, these artworks are inspired by ancient Egypt, possibly hailing from Middle Egypt, Hermopolis (Ashmunein; Khemenu). Their uniqueness lies in the variations and colors that naturally occur, making each one a distinctive homage to the rich heritage of the Horus falcon.
HISTORIC PROVENANCE
The Wall Art Inlay Hermopolis is inspired by four Egyptian inlays from the 4th-century B.C. and now at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Each inlay features a different image: Shepsi, a solar god associated with Hermopolis; the hieroglyphic sign "heh," meaning "millions of years"; and two likenesses of Horus, the falcon god of kingship. Our set of four hand-painted wall artworks are crafted from hand-cast plaster and presented in antique-style gold wooden frames.
Care instructions
HOW TO CARE FOR LACQUERED WOOD AND HIGH GLOSS FINISHES
Please follow a few basic rules to fully enjoy your lacquered or high gloss wood furniture:
- Avoid exposure to excessive sunlight, dampness and extreme temperature changes.
- Be careful not to leave a wet ring on the surface after watering flowers or plants.
- Don’t expose the furniture to scratches from pets or sharp objects.
- Use coasters and place felt pads under lamp bases and accessories.
Cleaning & Maintenance
To maintain the beauty of your luxury furniture, we recommend the following simple guidelines.
Lacquered Finish
Dust off regularly with a clean, soft dry cloth. For routine cleaning, mix a mild dishwashing detergent with lukewarm water. Dip a soft cloth into the mixture, wring it thoroughly and clean the furniture with it. The wood lacquer should not remain wet since water spots can damage the finish, so immediately wipe away the excess of water with a dry cloth.
