Descending from a family of ébénistes, Saunier received his maîtrise in 1752 and worked in the atelier of his father, Jean-Charles, in 1757, which was located in the rue Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Claude-Charles briefly continued to work in the Louis XV style but then rapidly adopted the Neoclassic designs of the transitional and Louis XVI periods for which he is now renowned.
