Empire style “Corbeille” or “Montgolfière” chandelier, the lower part of which is stepped. Model from the first half of the 19th century, Charles X.

The Empire style is very influenced by the Emperor Napoleon who imposes his taste for massive and imposing elements. We find the strong symbols of Napoleon (like the eagle or the bee) and war and military decorations. The expansion of the Empire will lead to the diffusion of this style throughout Europe. The architects and decorators Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine were the designers of this meticulously archaeological style, brought back from the Napoleonic campaigns and inspired by Roman antiquity, the Etruscan and the Egyptians, who exhibit an opulent neoclassicism.
Lustre “Corbeille” ou “Montgolfière” de style empire dont la partie haute est en escalier. Modèle de la première moitié du XIXème siècle, Charles X.

Le style Empire est très influencé par l'Empereur Napoléon Ier qui impose son goût pour les éléments massifs et imposants. On retrouve les symboles forts de Napoléon Ier (comme l’aigle ou l’abeille) et des décors guerriers et militaires. L’expansion de l’Empire va entraîner la diffusion de ce style à travers toute l’Europe. Les architectes et décorateurs Charles Percier et Pierre Fontaine furent les concepteurs de ce style minutieusement archéologique, ramené des campagnes napoléoniennes et s’inspirant de l’antiquité romaine, des étrusques et des égyptiens, qui présentent un néoclassicisme opulent.
