Egyptian Revival Keepsake Box

Egyptian Revival Keepsake Box – Hand-Painted with Sphinx Interior

An ode to ancient grandeur, this Egyptian Revival keepsake box is richly decorated with hand-painted hieroglyphs, gods, and ceremonial scenes inspired by tomb walls and temple art. The raised relief and saturated colors bring timeless mythology to life — while the lid lifts to reveal a stunning hidden sculpture: a reclining red Sphinx set before the pyramids.

Likely mid-20th century, this piece channels the fascination with Egyptology that swept Europe and America during the 1920s and beyond. It's as much a decorative artwork as it is a storage vessel — made to captivate from every angle.
