Visitors to Sir Johns Soane's house in London, now a museum dedicated to the great Georgian architect, will be amazed not only by the quality of the architecture, but also by its priceless collection of ancient treasures. One of the great artefacts to be seen is an Egyptian alabaster sarcophagus. Oh, to own such a thing!
Since it became illegal, or at least more difficult, to ransack another country's ancient treasures, a new solution for would-be tomb raiders was required.
Design Toscano offer a range of replica Egyptian treasures that might just meet this need. Yes, the product shown here is a replica of King Tutankhamen’s sarcophagus!
Ranking amongst the stranger items of furniture is this detailed replica of King Tutankhamen’s sarcophagus. It is life size, made from solid wood and is hand painted with”faux gold” accent. Open it up and inside are 14 storage shelves.
But what to store inside?
