It is unclear when and where Randolph first trained and practiced cabinetmaking, but in 1767 he advertised his new shop in Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. He also employed around this time cabinetmakers John Pollard and Hercules Courtenay. His clientele included wealthy figures such as John Cadwalader and Vincent Emerson Lockerman (several pieces probably owned by Lockerman are included). Randolph retired in 1778.
