Andries Carpentière or Charpentière (1672–1737) was an English sculptor of French[1] or Flemish[1] descent active in Britain in the early 18th century. His name is sometimes anglicised as Andrew Carpenter. He worked in both marble and lead.

Biography

[edit]

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.[2]
