In addition to its world-famous waters, the town of Spa has many other little-known treasures. The Jolités are worthy representatives of the most refined tableware and painted or inlaid decorations, developed thanks to the dynamic art industry of "Bois de Spa". Guided by Lydwine de Moerloose , art historian, linger in the varnished nooks and crannies and admire the details drawn in Indian ink or gouache. Discover the diversity of this small piece of furniture in its own right, which has its roots in the mid- 17th century, integrating and evolving with the history, great and small, of the town, but also of the modern world with its collectors and artists who are opening up new paths for decades to come.
