After working in Rome he returned to Paris in 1703. Three years later he was appointed sculptor to Louis XIV and worked on the Chapel at Versailles. Later in his career, Guillaume Coustou became involved in a protracted dispute concerning his most famous sculptures, the pair of marble Marly horses (1740-45) claiming a payment of 128,000 livres, but only receiving 85,000. The dispute was still unsettled at the time of his death. The marble groups originally stood at the entrance to the Riding School in Marly Park, but now stand at the entrance to the Champs Elysées.
