Napoleonic Empire is the official imperial brand identity Napoleon commissioned to make himself the new Augustus. Codified by Percier and Fontaine, it fused Egyptian campaign loot, Republican Roman gravitas, and Pompeii excavations into one coherent palace-and-state aesthetic.

Every chair-back bore a sphinx, every wallpaper a laurel-wreathed N, every gilt-bronze mount a bee, eagle, or victory-figure. After the Revolution dismantled the king's ornament, this is the new ornament — Caesarean, military, mathematically symmetric, and absolutely repeating.
