The study of furniture and its production is a window into both the
social position of its owner and the techniques and social
organization of the craftsmen. This book comprises an examination
and analysis of chairs, stools and footstools of the New Kingdom
(ca.1550-1069 B.C.) which are preserved in the Cairo Egyptian
Museum. The first chapter is dedicated to woodworking processes and
techniques of manufacturing chairs and stools. The second chapter
analyses the chairs, stools, and fragments that constitute the main
corpus of this study (131 pieces in total). The third chapter
focuses primarily on two-dimensional scenes and how these can
increase our understanding of the study objects. The fourth chapter
is devoted to a lexicographical analysis of the terms used to
designate different types of chairs, stools and footstools. This is
followed by a typological study of chairs and stools in the New
Kingdom based on actual pieces of furniture that my corpus includes
and those preserved in other collections.
