Biographies
John Dilworth
SMILLIE, Andrew Young Born 1879, died 1948 Glasgow, Scotland UK. Son, pupil, and assistant of Alexander Smillie, above. Credited with 200 violins, as well as some violas and cellos. One of the last makers of the distinguished 19th century Scottish school. Worked alongside his father and succeeded to the business at St George’s Road 1919. The shop continued after Andrew’s death, managed by his daughter Ina until 1977. Very fine work, similar to that of his father, but in some ways superior, being generally lighter and slightly more delicately worked. Completed over 200 violins, violas, and cellos. Stradivari- and Guarneri-based models. Both spirit and oil red-brown varnish. Violas on a small contralto form. A.Smillie & Son / 171 St. Georges Rd. Glasgow / No.. 19.. Andr. Y.
