As Emperor and King of Italy, Napoleon wanted to endow his new dynasty with palaces to match its splendour, which led to a rearrangement of the residences of the Ancien Régime and their refurnishing according to a new etiquette, devised on the basis of careful examination of previous practices. The members of the imperial family, but above all the "Napoleonides", Napoleon's brothers and sisters who became sovereigns of satellite states of France, sacrificed themselves to the same ambitions and implemented a renewed architectural and decorative grammar everywhere.

This book, based on the proceedings of a symposium held in June 2019 at the German Centre for Art History in Paris and at the Château de Fontainebleau, examines for the first time all of these arrangements, which, in addition to the traditional uses of furniture and space, also involved power relationships and family games. The choice of exemplary layouts allows us to understand the logic of the sets thus created, which fed the work of cabinetmakers, bronze workers and other ornamentalists in the service of a political project.
