The Empire Style, sometimes considered the second phase of
Neoclassicism, is an early-19th-century design movement in
architecture, furniture, other decorative arts, and the visual arts.

The style originated in and takes its name from the period when Napoleon I ruled France, known as the First French Empire, where it was intended to idealize Napoleon's leadership and the French state.
