Thomas Carter (sculptor)

Carter later moved to premises in the Parish of St George's near Hanover Square, Westminster.

[1] Apprentices in his yard included John Deare and Peter Matthias Van Gelder.

On the Elder'd death in 1756 he bequeathed his stock to Benjamin Carter, his brother, who also specialised in chimneypieces.

But Thomas the Younger appears to have gone into business with Benjamin and together they opened a new yard at Piccadilly.

His commissions were largely from the British aristocracy and rose as high as working for the Prince Regent.
