Many instruments bearing his label made for him by Mermillot and possibly other Mirecourt craftsmen. Also employed E. Marchetti, who probably played a very significant role in production of instruments. Medals awarded in Turin 1858, Florence 1861, and Milan 1881. Generally Stradivari models with fine low arch and slightly brittle golden-red varnish. Antonio Guadagnini fece / Torino, anno 1867 / A.G. / T.
