Cleopatra Egyptian queen famous in history Pharaonic Antiquities Egypt Rare BC
Cleopatra Egyptian queen famous in history Pharaonic Antiquities Egypt Rare BC. Cleopatra Egyptian queen famous in history and drama as the lover of Julius Caesar and later as the wife of Mark Antony. For she was a woman of surpassing beauty, and at that time, when she was in the prime of her youth, she was most striking; she also possessed a most charming voice and a knowledge of how to make herself agreeable to every one. She became queen on the death of her father, Ptolemy XII, in 51 BCE and ruled successively with her two brothers Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV and her son Ptolemy XV Caesar. After the Roman armies of Octavian (the future emperor Augustus) defeated their combined forces, Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide, and Egypt fell under Roman domination. Cleopatra actively influenced Roman politics at a crucial period, and she came to represent, as did no other woman of Classical antiquity, the prototype of the romantic femme fatale.

Antique Egyptian Cleopatra Pharaoh bookends Galvano bronze clad orig paint 1920s
Well, I don’t actually know that she is supposed to be Cleopatra, but she is sitting on the throne, wearing the pharaonic headress (and nothing else), so she must be the queen. She has her foot on a ball, representing sovereignty over the world. Probably mid-1920’s when the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922 set off another wave of Egyptian Revivalism in the decorative arts. But she is my favorite of the various pharaoh bookends produced in that period. Bronze-clad, a manufacturing process by which a skin of bronze was deposited on a plaster form through electro-plating. A handful of companies used this method in the early 1900s to make decorative household objects that had the look, feel, and heft of solid bronze yet were still affordable by the middle class. No maker’s mark (there would have been foil labels on the bottoms) but my guess is P. Mori & Son, Inc, established in 1889 and operating in NYC under the trade name Galvano Bronze. No breaks in the cladding, no big dents, no mashed corners on the bases, just a few small dings and nicks. Paint is original and still mostly intact. Fun to note that on the piece on the right, the painter lost track of which decorative bands on the back of the throne got which colors. There is some chipping and wear consistent with age and use. Both pieces sit flat and stable. 7 inches tall; 4 1/4 inches across the base at the back; 3 1/2 inches front to back. Weighing 2 1/4 pounds EACH PIECE. Perfect gift for the dominatrix in your circle. I pack with care. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Decorative Collectibles\Bookends”. The seller is “joncris4q8″ and is located in this country: US.
