French Empire Style (circa 1800–1815) was originally developed under Napoleon Bonaparte and drew from ancient Roman and Egyptian motifs to emphasize power, authority, and imperial dignity. Furniture often featured: rich giltwood, bold architectural lines, mythological or classical figures, and Sphinxes, eagles, laurels, and columns.
Empire Revival (late 19th to early 20th century) was a re-interpretation of the Napoleonic aesthetic, popular in Europe and America. It is associated with gilded age opulence, public buildings, and diplomatic interiors and is sometimes referred to as Second Empire in the U.S., though that term also refers to architectural features under Napoleon III.
