Unlike the New Kingdom (about 1550-1069 BC) in the Middle Kingdom it was not the custom to place many objects of daily use, including furniture, into a tomb. Therefore we do not have much information about the furniture in this period. However there are some important exceptions (cosmetic boxes are for example common in tombs) and there are numerous depictions of furniture in 2d art. Many fragments of wooden furniture were found at Lahun, providing important details about construction and variety of types.
