This exotic daybed fashioned after an Egyptian river boat and resting on crocodile feet, reflects the fashion for ancient Egyptian motifs in Regency England, inspired by the archaeological discoveries made during Napoleon's military campaigns of 1798. A similar daybed was acquired for the Prince Regent's Royal Pavilion and displayed in the Saloon. For an illustrated example see E.T Joy, English Furniture 1800-1851, London, 1977, p. 92.
