Servieres made good studies in his hometown and came very young to Paris, where upon his arrival he gave several theatre plays which had some success. He was noticed by Lucien Bonaparte, then interior minister, but soon fell into Napoleon's disfavor. In 1807, he married Eugénie Charen, the stepdaughter of the painter Lethière, who was herself a distinguished artist. He then accompanied to Italy his stepfather who had been appointed director of the French School in Rome, where he met Lucien, a longtime friend and confidant of Lethière.
Servières returned to Paris in 1812 and obtained a position in the public treasury. Under the Restoration, he was appointed a public auditor at the Court of Audit on 8 September 1818. He kept on writing plays until his death.
