Considered by many to be the most formal of French styles, the Empire style dawned during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, and was revived when his nephew assumed power during the Second Empire. This example, hand-crafted from exotic imported mahogany, exhibits classic Empire motifs in the cast bronze ormolu mounts with styling influenced by the ancient Egyptians of whom Napoleon was so enamoured. Spacious interior affords excellent storage in style!
Circa 1860s.
