A well-founded work on French furniture from the period after the Revolution to the Empire. The volume sheds light on the profound stylistic change under the influence of antiquity and documents the development from the late Louis-seize to the sober style of the Directoire and the monumental formal language of the Empire. With numerous colour illustrations, the book illustrates the guiding design ideas and political symbolism of this era. One focus is on the designs of Percier and Fontaine as well as the influence of imperial representation under Napoléon Iᵉʳ.
