During the 1840s he moved to Paris and had a decorating studio. Sometime between 1859 and the late 1860s he opened an exporting firm in Limoges and developed a wide export market, especially to North America . Around 1884 he also started decorating porcelain in Limoges . He probably also established the porcelain factory continued by his son.The son Charles J. Ahrenfeldt (1856-1934) took over the porcelain factory in 1894, upon his father's death. In 1896 he built a porcelain factory in the Montjovis district of Limoges. Ahrenfeldt's Zurich agent M. Grob took over the factory in 1917. This factory made high quality porcelain and won the Grand Prix at ArtDeco Exposition in 1925. The factory was enlarged in 1926.
