Biography
He was first recorded in London in 1702. For some years he worked as principal assistant to John Nost before setting up his own studio - by 1714 he had established a lead-statue-making business on Piccadilly and he produced several garden sculptures in that material. He worked at Cannons for James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos and at Wrest Park.[1]
