John Dilworth
PRESTON, James Worked circa. 1724-1770 London UK. Established at 9 Banbury Court, Long Acre and the Strand 1724-1770. Presumed to have been a dealer and tradesman rather than a maker. Decent London trade work bears his label: coarse work and cheap materials with dark red-brown varnish. Some better cellos; also guitars. Labels both manuscript and printed: Preston, maker / 97 Strand, London
