The Empire style was encouraged by Napoleon Bonaparte’s desire for a propagandistic style. The glorious ancient Greek and Roman Empires inspired this Neoclassical style. After his Egyptian Campaign, it was likewise strongly influenced by the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Jacob Desmalter supplied furniture to the Emperor Napoleon for the Chateau de Malmaison, the Tuileries Palace and other imperial residences. The Empire style was therefore adopted in courts throughout Europe, especially in Russia.
