The old ducal seat of Lorraine, and the Sculptor and Architect benches together explain why Art Nouveau had to happen here — Émile Gallé and the École de Nancy working glass and iron into a style the tilework still wears. An Officer line and a thick Historian bench point further back, to the court that fed Europe Francis I of the Holy Roman Empire and Duke Charles III.
