Distinctive Features of the Empire Style

Empire-style furniture is characterized by strict geometric lines and sculptural details often inspired by Roman, Greek, and Egyptian art. The pieces are frequently decorated with gilded bronzes, a hallmark of the style, adding a touch of opulence. Common motifs include sphinxes, caryatids, griffins, palmettes, and eagles or lion paws, symbols of power and victory during the Napoleonic era.

The furniture is often made from solid woods like mahogany, beech, or walnut, offering great robustness and a rich aesthetic. Black, red, green, or veined white marble tops are also common, providing both durability and an elegant touch. Additionally, the legs of Empire-style furniture are typically shaped like the paws of mythological animals or fluted, accentuating the majestic structure of each piece.
