The empire style was the exaltation of Pompeian decoration>>, argued Mario Praz, famous Italian critic, writer and essayist. It is a neoclassical style that represents a return to the past, as the architectural field is inspired in particular by the realisations made during the Roman Empire, up to the Egyptian architecture. The empire style therefore expresses a return of the essence of the classic style, as well as being heavily influenced by an even more remote past.

The empire style is one of the most appreciated to this day for its invaluable value. It is a current of the nineteenth century: Neoclassicism, of which it is the highest expression. Interested in furniture, architecture, decorative and visual arts, the Empire style characterised each field in a distinctive way; it went beyond the geographical limits of birth to expand much further and enjoy enormous success.
