Each piece is phenomenal and was crafted with extraordinary expertise. Most notable are the superior bronze mounts. Inspired by the style created to glorify Emperor Napoleon, the decorative Empire elements radiate royalty, power and elegance. Bronze legs of winged creatures support the vanity and nightstand while the secretary and cabinet rest on large bronze paw feet. Urns, swags and a variety of mythological creatures are all cast and gilded to the finest degree.
Antoine Krieger took his inspiration for this set from the furnishings of Malmaison, one of Napoleon and Josephine's Parisian palaces. A similar bedroom suite was acquired by circus magnate John Ringling to adorn his bedroom at Ca d'Zan, now part of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida.
