Publisher's Synopsis

When Napoleon I first came to power in 1799, in order to glorify his regime, he encouraged French furniture-makers, silversmiths, jewelers and porcelain and textile manufacturers to produce gorgeous objects, which were produced in antique styles. This manner came to be known as the Empire Style. This book is a compendium of the Empire Style.
