Empire style

The Empire style is an early 19th-century design movement that reflects the grandeur of the Napoleonic era. It emphasizes bold, majestic forms, symmetrical layouts, and rich decorations inspired by classical antiquity—such as Greek and Roman motifs. Often seen in furniture, architecture, and art, the style uses strong lines, gilded details, and motifs like laurel wreaths and imperial symbols to evoke power, authority, and elegance. It aims to convey a sense of imperial prestige and sophistication, blending classical themes with modern craftsmanship.
