**Charles Ahrenfeldt senior started his business in the 1830’s as an importer of porcelain into New York City, subsequently opening a decorating studio in Paris a decade later, and in the 1860’s   exporting worldwide from Limoges.  In the 1880’s he opened a factory in Limoges; making and decorating his own porcelain.  Son Charles J Ahrenfeldt took over upon his father’s death in 1894, until 1917. Ownership changed hands several times over the decades with the eventual closing of operations in 1969.
