Briefly describe the style characteristics of ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and ancient Rome?

Egypt's furniture style and shape are based on the principle of symmetry, reasonable proportions, rich and majestic appearance, rich and moving decorative techniques, often using animal legs to make furniture leg shapes, fully showing the courage and confidence of human beings to conquer nature. Structurally, a variety of structural methods have been mastered, and some methods have not yet been broken through. In terms of finishing methods, water-based paints have been used, such as first applying plaster, then painting with mineral pigments, or after applying plaster, then coated with sticky animal oil or resin, and then pasting gold leaf.

Emphasis is placed on the decorative nature of the furniture over the practicality. Precious stones, ivory, and ebony are often used as decorative materials for inlays and carvings. In particular, court furniture was often decorated with gold leaf, that is, plaster was first applied to the surface of wood such as cypress, and then coated with adhesive animal oil or resin, and then applied with gold leaf.

The carpentry skills of ancient Egyptian furniture have reached a certain level, which can process more perfect cuts and joints and delicate carvings, and use paint for decoration.

The main types of furniture in ancient Greece were chairs, tables, stools, beds, couches, etc., and the most exquisite furniture was dining room furniture. The styling characteristics of ancient Greek furniture best reflect the ancient Greeks' pursuit of formal beauty. In the design of Greek furniture in the classical era, the rigidity of ancient Egyptian shapes, the large scale of Assyria and Persia, and the redundant trivialities of decoration were abandoned.

Although Roman furniture was inspired by the heroes of ancient Greek culture in terms of shape and decoration, it still had the characteristics of Roman solidity and solemnity, the most prominent of which was the large influx of bronze furniture. This was an era dominated by columnar structures, with emphasis on the inspiration derived from the round bow of the church, and artistic techniques such as carving and inlay were in a secondary position, with coarse materials and simple lines. The materials are mostly made of bronze and marble, the animal-foot furniture has more solid legs than the ancient Egyptian furniture, and the characteristics of wood selection are reflected in the repeated deep groove design, and the extensive use of vaults is the greatest feature and greatest achievement of ancient Roman architecture, which has had a profound impact on the development of European architecture and furniture in the future.

Ancient EgyptThe aristocrats of ancient Egypt began to use furniture such as chairs, stools, and beds during the Old Kingdom period (c. 2686---2181 BC, including the Fourth and Sixth Dynasties), and decorated them with gold, silver, precious stones, ivory, ebony, etc., and made detailed carvings. The furniture that reflects the Egyptian court was a symbol of the ruler's status. After the carving, it is also painted with bright colors, pasted with gold leaf, and inlaid with gems and porcelain tiles to reflect the status and status.
