Empire
A period of design during the reign of Napoleon I. It was most prevalent between 1800 and the late 1820s. It was considered the second wave of neoclassicism and marked a return to ostentatious design, a departure from the more conservative Directoire period that directly preceded it. It was intended to idealize the majesty of the French state and Napoleonic rule. Mahogany was the most popular wood during the period, and brass ornamentation and dark marbles were in vogue. Greek, Roman, and Egyptian motifs were also widely used. The style spread throughout Europe and appeared in America in some of Duncan Phyfe's work.
Cheval mirror
A cheval mirror is a full-length mirror. A cheval mirror is suspended between two pillars and attached to a large supporting base above and below the mirror. The cheval mirror is extremely functional because it can be angled to allow oneself to view their entire body. The ability to serve as a full-length mirror has made the cheval mirror a popular piece of furniture for bedrooms and dressing rooms. In fact, the cheval mirror was originally known as a dressing mirror when it was first made in the 1700s.
Caryatid
A Caryatid is an architectural column that is made in the form of a female figure. The caryatid originates from ancient Greek architecture and was popular during the Renaissance and Neoclassical periods. The most famous example of the caryatid is on the Erechtheum on the Acropolis of Athens. Caryatids are sometimes referred to as Korai which translates to “maidens”.
Mahogany
Mahogany is a straight grained hard wood with silky texture, ranging in color from dark brown to red. Furniture made from mahogany became popular in Britain from Mid-18th Century on, spreading throughout Europe.
Pediment
An architectural feature that has a triangular ornament placed on top of a structure such as a a portico, doorway, window or used as a decorative element in furniture. There are many variations on the pediment some have segmental, scroll, and broken forms.
