The Brussels based workshop of Jacquet and Nédonchelle, 1834-1839.

Lit: Jacquet had been trained by Frédéric Faber in the Ixelles manufactory in Brussels before Faber and Windisch split. He was a genius painter of landscapes, flowers, and birds. Experts believe he is the hand behind the fabulous service with birds after Buffon of the royal palace of Brussels. In 1832, he becomes an independent decorator on porcelain. Soon, in 1834, Louis Nédonchelle who also worked for Faber, will join him and they will establish their workshop at the 52 rue de la Madeleine in Brussels. In 1835, at the national industrial exhibition, they will represent a set of vases with views of the townhall of Leuven and views over the cathedral Saints-Michel-and-Gudule in Brussels. Those themes were already successful in the 1820 under Faber. Unfortunately, Louis dies in 1839. Jacquet will continue on his own. At the end of his life, Vermeren-Coché, owners of the manufactory of Ixelles II, will take over. Jacquet dies in 1870.
