Pierre Roussel (1723-1782), ébéniste reçu maître en 1745
Pierre Roussel était le fils d’un ébéniste et s’établit au Faubourg Saint Antoine, rue de Charenton. Entre 1775 et 1780, il travailla pour le prince de Condé et lui livra pour 10 000 livres de mobilier. L’inventaire après le décès de Roussel mentionne un grand ensemble de meubles en laque. Il travaillait régulièrement avec le bronzier Turchin et le doreur Trufot.
