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. The French architects Percier and Fontaine, were together the creators of the French Empire style. They also became leading furniture designers in the 1790s. They received many commissions from Napoleon Bonaparte.
