The service, described as service fleurettes et papillons colorés in the sale records in 1822, was partly delivered to the château de Compiègne in 1824 on the occasion of Charles X's first stay at the palace. There were subsequent deliveries to Compiègne between 1826 and 1830. However, part of the service never went to the château and the remainder was purchased by a M. Roux in 1834. None of the service remained at Compiègne, but the collection now houses several pieces thanks to donations in more recent years, https://chateaudecompiegne.fr/collection/objet/service-fleurettes-et-papillons-colores-du-roi-charles-x.
A pair of plates from the service were sold in these rooms, 6 July 2021, lot 203, and two dessert plates at Christie's London, 27 November 2013, lot 45.
