Ancient Egyptian Foil Art

Our ancient Egyptian foil art group reproduces the visual world of the Nile valley in metallic foil: pharaohs and queens, Queen Nefertiti on a golden ground, the Eye of Horus, papyrus style murals of offering bearers, tomb paintings of daily life, and scenes such as the Weighing of the Heart from the Book of the Dead. Every print in this collection is discontinued and out of print.

Egyptian art was always built around gold — the flesh of the gods, the skins of their bodies, the backgrounds of tomb walls. A foil print is therefore a natural medium for it: the embossed metallic surface recreates the gleam of gold leaf, and the crisp profile outlines survive the stamping process beautifully. Collectors hang these pieces singly, but they also work as a frieze when several are grouped along a corridor or above a sofa.

Sizes run from A4 to large formats; each artwork page shows the exact dimensions, item number and ordering details. Email us if you want several related designs — we can usually suggest companion pieces from the same series that are still in stock.
