The French First Empire style, also known as the Empire style, was a late neoclassical style of decorative arts and architecture that flourished from 1804 to 1815 under Napoleon. It is characterised by grandeur, symmetry, and influences from ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt, often with a masculine, military aesthetic that glorified Napoleon's reign.
