During the discovery of Tutankhamen's Tomb, Art Deco was taking its form. This art period stared in France 1920, artists of that time when they heard about the discovery, they started to produce and manipulate things that are influenced and inspired by Egyptian styles, such as; in their form and even in the use of color, that were Black and Gold. During my research about the influence of Egyptian Art on Art Deco, I found several furniture that could have the influence from the Egyptian Era.
