Building, quai des Salines, 30-30a

This very long set of eighteen bays was built in the second half of the eighteenth century to house the "Imperial and Royal Factory" of porcelain, created by F.-J. Peterinck in 1751. The factory was then operated from 1850 by the company Boch et frères. In 1891, the factory was sold in batches and part of the buildings was destroyed. Of this large factory, only this imposing wing remains, which shows an important contrast between the façade and the roof. The first coating in white, quite austere and rigorous, testifies to the neoclassical taste while the second retains an acute slope and attic attic.
Resting on a fitted base, the two levels are separated by an entablature and two molded cords. The bays with a straight lintel are highlighted with simple moldings. The frontispiece is open by a carriage door flanked by colossal Tuscan pilasters paired, pilasters that repeat to the right of the building. Upstairs, the semicircular bay is more basic but of similar typology. The roof is pierced by eighteen dormers with triangular pediment.
Classified as a monument on April 21, 1982
