Pierre Walter,
Cabinetmaker, mastered probably before 1738. He worked as a freelance cabinetmaker in the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine around the middle of Louis XV's reign.
Married to the daughter of cabinetmaker CAREL, he took over his workshop on the latter's death.
In 1755, together with Jean Baptiste Hédouin, he appraised the goods belonging to the estate of his colleague François Vandercruse, known as Lacroix. From the same date until 1760, he supplied the cabinetmaker Migeon with various types of game tables in satinwood and amaranth.
