Jean-Mathieu Chevallier (1694 – 1768), Master the 5th march 1743.
The eldest brother of Charles Chevallier, he knows great prosperity and received orders for several aristocratic residences such as the « Duc de Talmont » hôtel, and one of the castles of Louis-Anne de Bourbon Condé. His presence, in 1745, among the creditors of André Charles II Boulles may indicate collaboration between the two craftsmen.
