Description
Antique French Porcelain Basket with Floral Decoration from Hb & Cie Choisy Le Roi.
Its neutral color is ideal to decorate a centerpiece, it has elegant shapes that give a feeling of softness.
Signed with the stamp of the company HB & Choisy Le Roi at its base.
From 1804 to 1938, Choisy-le-Roi earthenware was one of the main industrial activities of this Val-de-Marne town. In 1930, it employed up to 1,400 workers in the largest of the local earthenware factories: H. Boulenger & Cie.
The Choisy-le-Roi faience factory was founded by the three Paillart brothers on Floré 21 in the year XIII (May 11, 1805). Valentin, Melchior and Nicolas Paillart bought a 4 hectare site, located in part of the former royal domain, to set up their faience factory. They will begin to produce fine earthenware with printed decoration from 1808, in collaboration with Christophe Potter (1751-1817). (Cf. Patrice Valfré).
The faience factory became, over time, and this until its final closure in 1934, in the main center of influence of Choisy.
Owned by the Paillart brothers from 1805 to 1824, the pottery was managed by Valentin Paillart and his partner Hippolyte Hautin. In 1836, the departure of Valentin Paillart left the factory to Hippolyte Hautin, who joined forces with Louis Boulenger (1773-1850). His children Adolphe Boulenger (1805-1873) and Alexandrine Hautin (1814-1900) married and had four children, including Hippolyte Boulenger (1836-1892) who in 1863 became the owner of the company to which he gave his name. by H. Boulenger & Cie (Hautin Boulenger & Cie). It turned the local ceramics factory into a leading national industrial company: the Choisy faience factory received several official awards at the World Exhibitions. In 1889, Hippolyte Boulenger moved the headquarters to Paris, 18 rue de Paradis. At his death, three years later, he was succeeded by Paul-Hippolyte and Alexandre Boulenger. In 1920, the company HB & Cie bought the Manufacture de Montereau, owner of the Creil-Montereau brand, and became HBCM (Hippolyte Boulenger-Creil-Montereau). He closed his workshops in Choisy in 1934, those in Montereau in 1955 [1]. The three Neo-Gothic funerary chapels of the Boulenger family, although very deteriorated, are still visible in the Choisy-le-Roi cemetery.
In 1967, the company changed its name to Établissement Boulenger, a coatings company.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
