The Nancy School, or Provincial Alliance of Art Industries, brought together numerous art manufacturers, artists, and architects who sought to improve the living environment of their time by creating a new art inspired by nature. This work illustrates the innovative nature of the era, when the most modern technical processes were implemented to produce functional furniture and art objects with a unique aesthetic. The masterpieces, unique pieces or small series from the Nancy workshops of Gallé, Majorelle, Daum, Vallin, etc., coexist with mass-produced pieces whose wide distribution was achieved through stores, catalogs, and various advertising tools. All contributed to the growth of the Nancy School.
