Louis-Charles Carpentier, maître in 1752.
Established in the Rue de Cléry, Carpentier enjoyed considerable success from the beginning of his career until 1779, when he sold his atelier with its 'outils, établis, ustenciles et bois' to Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené. His clientele included various illustrious names such as baron Rolin d'Ivry, the marquise de Brunoy, the duchesse de Villeroy and the duc d'Aumont.
