Pierre Roussel (1723-1782) Cabinetmaker. Mastered on August 21, 1745. Very skilled marquetry, Roussel left an abundant, diverse and excellent quality production. Received Master Cabinetmaker in 1745, Pierre Roussel settled on rue de Charonne, in the Saint-Antoine suburb under the name "L'Image de Saint Pierre". Thanks to his qualities as a cabinetmaker and especially as an outstanding marquetry maker, he very quickly acquired a great reputation. In 1762 he became a juror of his community. From 1767 he was considered one of the best cabinetmakers of his time, which was confirmed by the "Almanach d'indication générale ou du Vray mérite" of 1769, which cited him as one of the first cabinetmakers in Paris. Greatly appreciated by his colleagues, he became a deputy of the cabinetmakers' body in 1777 and then syndic two years later. His abundant and varied productions adapted to all the styles of the 18th century, with elegance and refinement. Many Louis XV chests of drawers, with rosewood or violet wood veneer, are decorated with marquetry of flowers or ribbon bows. Lacquer and tasteful landscapes from the Far East are also often used in his decoration. On the furniture, Transition and Louis XVI we find many marquetry works of architectural landscapes of cities, rivers or ports, without of course forgetting the marquetry with geometric designs often used. The inventory of his goods, carried out after his death, proves the prosperity of his establishment that his wife, together with his sons, took over.
