17" Diameter, approximately.

Circa 1890-1895.

In 1889, the factory of Hautin Boulenger et Cie opened a Paris sales atelier at 18 rue de Paradis, in the 10th arrondisdement, to increase sales to a wealthy, international clientele. This charger would have been shown in the rich surroundings of the Paris store, and without doubt the buyers at Shreve, Crump, bought the charger to Boston to display in similar surroundings in America.
