Popular in the early 19th century, Empire is a grand and stately style that originated in France during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte and later influenced American design. Characterized by strong geometric forms, bold proportions, and classical motifs, this style reflects a sense of power and refinement. Empire furniture often features rich, dark woods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, accented with gilded bronze or brass embellishments. Ornate details, including carved columns, claw feet, laurel wreaths, and mythological symbols, showcase its neoclassical influence. It is often upholstered with luxurious fabrics like silk, velvet, or brocade.
