Pierre Simon Jaillot was a French sculptor of ivory objects born in Avignon-lès-Saint-Claude in 1631, and died on 23 September 1681 in Paris.
Of a violent character, he insulted the painter Charles Le Brun and his protector Pierre Seguier, which merited him to be excluded from the academy.
His reception piece was offered at the Petites-maisons hospital.
He died in his house, Quai des Augustins.
On 24 September 1681, he was buried in a religious service held in Saint-André-des-Arcs.
