This former porcelain factory, built in 1830, used to produce quantities of decorative porcelain and earthenware for the creations of famous architects such as Victor Horta and Paul Saintenoy. The latter's tiles can be found on the façade of the Old England building (now the Museum of Music Instruments). The façade of the factory is in the eclectic style, very ornate and decorated with polychromatic ceramics. The large baywindows on the ground floor open on the inside of the shop and the wood panelling decor. Old glazed ceramic pannels - among which three remarkable polychromatic ceramics by Isidore De Rudder (1897) depicting Harmony, Colour and Measure, are testament to the know-how of the former factory which collaborated with famous artists. The building is now home to the art galery TALK C.E.C., an innovative multidisciplinary venue combining culture and discovery.
