The Empire Style focused on a heavy use of symbols
to convey the message of Napoleon's power.
The designs took inspiration from Greco-Roman
antiquity but with a French twist. They were enlivened with
bold colors, costly and elaborately worked materials,
done on a massive scale and ornate decoration
that includes animal and fantastical figures such as lions,
griffons and symbolic references to Napoleon's reign.
