Biographies

John Dilworth

SIMON, François Worked circa. 1785 Mirecourt France. Vannes gives only the date of his marriage (1785) and has no information about his work. Henley gives a description, not necessarily reliable, of a long model with flat arching, large scroll but graceful sound-holes. Red-brown varnish. Branded on the back button: ‘Simon’. Branded internally: ‘Simon 1781’ [Vannes, Henley]
