Biographies
John Dilworth
BERNARDEL, Auguste Sebastien Philippe Born 1798 Mirecourt, died 1870 Bougival France. Known as ‘Bernardel Père’. Apprenticed in Mirecourt before joining Lupot in Paris c.1815. Remained there until 1824; briefly worked with Gand before opening his own shop in the capital in 1826 in the rue Coquillière. Later moved to rue Croix des Petits Champs, where Vuillaume was already established. Joined by his sons Ernest (in 1840) and Gustave (c.1849), the firm became known as Bernardel et Fils. Retired in 1866 to Bougival, a town popular with the Impressionist painters at that time. One of the most important and influential French makers, eclipsed only by his teacher, Lupot, and his almost exact contemporary, J. B. Vuillaume. Worthy inheritor of Lupot’s tradition and craftsmanship, and along with Vuillaume and Betts in England, a pioneer of ‘antiqued’ copies of individual classical instruments with artificially shaded varnish. His varnish is generally inferior to Vuillaume’s, and can be a slightly crude red colour, and his violins by comparison seem a little heavy in execution. Materials always of the very finest quality. Stradivari, Guarneri and Brescian models. Cellos modelled on the Stradivari ‘Duport’ cello are particularly successful, and double basses highly sought-after.
