It was in 1913, towards the end of the Art Nouveau era, that the Rôtisserie Vincent, originally created in 1905, was transformed.
Architect Maurice Grimme imagines an exceptional decor of painted tiles.
All the walls and ceilings are covered with these paintings illustrating the Belgian North Sea activities, fishing boat in the turmoil, shrimp fisherman, flowery fields, and sheep in the polders.
There is even the ceramic price card…
At that time, some workshops specialized in these ceramic decorations.
It was the Helman company that made this masterpiece.
The style is realistic, a bit bombastic, and really impressive.
