(maker: 1842 \u2013 1920)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born at Rheims 1842. Died there 1920. Worked in several ateliers at Paris. Established extensive premises at Mirecourt, 1876-1881. Associated with Martin and Joseph Guarini some years previously, ultimately purchased the trade-marks of that firm, and henceforth built his instruments under the pseudonym of Joseph Guarini. Produced nearly 3,000 of these superior \u201ccommercial\u201d instruments, and, for many years, their popularity out-distanced all competitors. Recipient of gold medals and \u201cdiplomas d\u2019honneur\u201d at European and American exhibitions. Modelling especially adhering to the Messie Strad. Early specimens with red varnish, later productions with yellow-red on amber ground. \u00a320. Reputed to have been indefatigable in varnish experimenting. \u00a365, 1960.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
