Member of a large family of carpenters, he is one of the greatest of the Louis XV period.

His excellence recognized, he delivers for the Queen's apartment at Versailles, or even the Chamber or the Cabinet of King Louis XV. Closer to home, we find his works in the Niarchos collection, in the Louvre by a bequest from the Comte de Camondo, or even in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
