EMPIRE STYLE

From 1804–15, Napoléon I reigned as the emperor of France, bringing the country into a new era of opulence after the fall of the monarchy and the tumultuous years of the French Revolution. He declared, “We must have very solid things, made to last 100 years.” Empire-style furniture followed suit, with imposing pieces constructed from mahogany and adorned with gilded ornaments. Expanding on the neoclassicism popularized in the previous century — such as in ​​Louis XVI style — Empire style borrowed from the great civilizations of antiquity, from Egypt to Greece and Rome, to connect this nascent empire to the power of the past.

Napoléon I believed the production of fine furniture would reflect the stature of the republic, with his official architects Charles Percier and Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine leading the way with their work on his residences.

Luxurious materials, symmetrical shapes and bold colors characterize antique Empire-style bedroom furniture, armchairs, cabinets and other structures, with frequent motifs including mythological creatures, geometric designs, acanthus leaves, eagles, bees (the imperial emblem) and swans, a favorite of Empress Joséphine.

Flat surfaces, like marble tabletops, were accented with decadent details, such as the bronze furniture mounts made by sculptor Pierre-Philippe Thomire for the French palaces. Martin-Guillaume Biennais, who worked as the imperial goldsmith, crafted intricate luxury objects that mixed wood, fine metal, mother-of-pearl and ivory. Ormolu — or elaborate bronze gilding — was essential to French design in the 18th and 19th centuries as a cornerstone of the neoclassical and Empire styles.

The style became popular abroad, influencing the American Empire style. Stately pieces carved with sprigs of olives by cabinetmaker Pierre-Antoine Bellange were acquired by American President James Monroe for the White House in 1817.

Pair French Empire Mahogany Gilt Consoles Jean-Jacques Werner Palais Eynard 1820

By Jean-Jacques Werner

Located in Epfach, DE

A rare and exceptionally well-documented pair of French Empire console tables, attributed to the celebrated Paris ébéniste Jean-Jacques Werner (Geneva 1791–1853 Paris), originating from the celebrated Palais Eynard in Geneva. Executed in flame mahogany veneered over an oak carcass, each console is fitted with a black marble top above a frieze centered by a finely chased and fire-gilt bronze mount of palmettes, a rosette, and scrolling acanthus foliage. The scrolled legs, headed by gilt-bronze acanthus capitals, terminate in bold lion's-paw feet, while the back is fitted with star-studded gilt-bronze-framed mirror plates — a hallmark of the finest Empire console design. The pair survives in exceptional original, untouched condition. Provenance: Palais Eynard, Geneva Commissioned for the Palais Eynard, built 1817–1821 for the financier and philhellene Jean-Gabriel Eynard (Lyon 1775–1863 Geneva), one of the most celebrated private residences of early 19th-century Geneva. Eynard, who made his fortune as financial advisor to the Queen of Etruria and to Grand Duchess Elisa Bacciocchi (sister of Napoleon), returned to Geneva in 1810 and later attended the Congress of Vienna alongside Charles Pictet-Rochemont. An admirer of Italian palazzo architecture...
