- Anne Droguet, 'Nicolas Petit 1732-1791', Peerin & Fils, Editions de l'Amateur, 2001: Petit became master in 1761. He opened his workshop in Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, under the name 'Au Nom de Jésus'. He worked there for more than thirty years, adapting without difficulty to the evolution of the different styles of the 18th C. and very quickly acquiring great renown.
