The images depict the imperial throne of Napoleon I, specifically the one commissioned for the Throne Room of the Tuileries Palace in Paris. Designed by the architects Charles Percier and Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine around 1804, this piece is a hallmark of the Empire Style.
?The structure is crafted from carved and gilded wood, featuring a circular backrest adorned with a sunburst pattern and the imperial "N" monogram encircled by a laurel wreath. The armrests terminate in ivory spheres and are supported by pillars decorated with foliate motifs. The upholstery consists of deep blue velvet with intricate gold and silver embroidery, featuring imperial bees and olive branches.
