In the 19th century and at the turn of the century, Boulenger was one of the most prominent silversmiths in Paris. The company was founded in 1810 by M. Boulenger-Hautin, in its first decades operating as the Orfevrerie Hautin. When cousin Adolphe Boulenger took over the management in 1864, the name changed to A. Boulenger & Cie. From their branch at 4 rue de Vert-Bois in Paris, the company made a name for itself as an Orfevre of caliber, and in time Boulenger became a regular supplier to the French navy. Her work was awarded several times at fairs and exhibitions, including in Paris 1925, Cairo in 1929, and Antwerp in 1930.
