Claude-Charles Saunier, maître in 1752.
Descending from a family of ébénistes, Saunier received his maîtrise in 1752 and worked in the atelier of his father, Jean-Charles, in 1757, which was located in the rue Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Claude-Charles briefly continued to work in the Louis XV style but then rapidly adopted the Neoclassic designs of the transitional and Louis XVI periods for which he is now renowned. Saunier's success was not confined to France and his reputation reached London through his work for the marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre.
