In 1806, Montferrand joined the former Académie d ' architecture, joining class of Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine.

Charles Percier (; 22 August 1764 – 5 September 1838 ) was a neoclassical French architect, interior decorator and designer, who worked in a close partnership with Pierre François Léonard Fontaine, originally his friend from student days.

Together, Percier and Fontaine were inventors and major proponents of the rich, grand, consciously-archaeological versions of neoclassicism we recognise as Directoire style and Empire style.

Percier and Fontaine had lived together as well as being colleagues.

In that prominent square, Percier and Fontaine designed the Arc du Carrousel ( 1807 – 8 ), commemorating the Battle of Austerlitz,

The Directoire style was primarily established by the architects and designers Charles Percier ( 1764 – 1838 ) and Pier François Léonard Fontaine ( 1762 – 1853 ).

Design sources liberally plundered by the Morrisons include Percier and Fontaine ’ s Palais, Maisons et autres Edificies Modernes ( 1798 ) and Iberian Moorish designs as engraved by the Irish artist James Cavanagh-Murphy ( 1750 – 1814 ).

As Napoleon's chief residence, the Tuileries Palace was redecorated in the Neoclassical Empire style by Percier and Fontaine and some of the best known architects, designers, and furniture makers of the day.

Designed by Charles Percier and Pierre François Léonard Fontaine, the arch was built between 1806 and 1808 by the Emperor Napoleon I, on the model of the Arch of Constantine ( 312 AD ) in Rome, as a gateway of the Tuileries Palace, the Imperial residence.

Two French architects, Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine, were together the creators of the French Empire style.

The Empire period was popularized by the inventive designs of Percier and Fontaine, Napoleon's architects for Malmaison.

The chapel was designed in 1816 by the French Neo-Classical architect Pierre François Léonard Fontaine, who, with his partner Charles Percier, figured among Napoleon's favourite architects.

On special occasions, Percier was called upon to design for the Sèvres porcelain manufactory: in 1814 Percier's published designs were adapted by Alexandre Brogniart, director of Sèvres, a grand classicising vase 137 cm tall, that came to be known as the " Londonderry Vase " when Louis XVIII gave it to the Marquess of Londonderry just before the Congress of Vienna.

Designed by the architect Charles Percier, this impressive piece of furniture was embellished with several gilt-bronze ornaments: the central panel depicts the " Birth of the Queen of the Earth to whom Cupids and Goddesses hasten with their Offerings " by the bronzier Pierre-Philippe Thomire, after a bas-relief by Chaudet.

A specially appointed commission examined several designs, including that of the French-born architect Auguste de Montferrand ( 1786 – 1858 ), who had studied in the atelier of Napoleon's designer, Charles Percier.

The Reims Cathedral was decorated to portray the union of Altar and Throne, and Charles Percier, the architect, adorned the building with Neo-Gothic décor, in a style that evoked the Middle Ages, rather than the Roman-influenced " Empire style " that he was renowned for.

It was designed by the architect Charles Percier and embellished with gilt-bronze plaques: the central one, according to its original description, depicts the " Birth of the Queen of the Earth, to whom Cupids and Goddesses hasten with their Offerings " by the Empire's most eminent bronzier, Pierre-Philippe Thomire, modelled by Antoine-Denis Chaudet.
