Scope note
Refers to the style of decorative arts from 1799 to 1805 during the First Consul of Napoleon. Though a continuation of Directoire Neoclassicism, the style is distinguished by heavier forms, the lavish use of drapery, and the introduction of Egyptian motifs inspired by Napoleon's military campaigns in Egypt.
