John Dilworth+
GRAND-GÉRARD, Jean Baptiste Worked circa. 1775-1820 Mirecourt France. Branded as from Paris, but worked in the Mirecourt style. Large flat model with yellow varnish. Branded: ‘Grandgérard’ or ‘Grand Gérard à Paris’
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Seine Arbeit ist etwa mit der D. Hopf’s gleichwerthig. Das Holz ist mittelmässig
und sein glanzloser Lack von gelber oder brauner Farbe. Er bezeichnete
seine Geigen nur durch Aufdrucken eines Brandstempels mit seinem Namen ohne Datum. Auf der Wiener Musikausstellung befand sich eine Geige von ihm mit der Abbildung
einer Kirche auf der Aussenseite des Bodens. Im Katalog (S. 16) wird die Geige für engl. Arbeit (!) ausgegeben.
Cecie Stainer+
A maker in the Vosges about 1790-1810. Also worked in Paris. Made a great many instruments; the work is inferior, the varnish a dull brown colour. He branded his instruments with his name.
