Abstract

Woodcrafts have been known since the pre-dynastic era. Wooden furniture has been depicted on tombs since the Old Kingdom, but surviving examples of them before the modern state are rare. Where the religious belief and belief in the resurrection dictated that Egyptians provide for their afterlife in the way they used to do in their religions, so their graves were deposited with supplies and equipment, and with the pictures and drawings spread on their walls, representing all matters of their lives. Egyptian furniture reached a high level of luxury, which no people could attain in that ancient time, and if the furniture is like a mirror, it reflects the personality of any people and the degree of its civilization, and then the ancient Egyptian furniture truly reflects the Egyptian environment and its civilization. In addition, if the carpentry, since the pre-dynastic period, was dry and devoid of integrity in its refinement, but the skill of the maker and his knowledge of the properties of the material enabled him to treat this industry and this formation properly.
