Jean 'Père' Gourdin (active 1737-1763), maître in c.1715
Jean Gourdin, known as Père Gourdin, was part of a dynasty of important menuisiers active in the Rue de Cléry in Paris from the Régence through the Louis XVI periods, including his sons Jean-Baptiste (maître in c.1738) and Michel, also known as Gourdin le jeune (maître in 1752).
