Johann Antony

Mittenwald, worked 1775–1785

Small pointed corners. Slender oval scroll, deeply undercut. Dark golden-brown varnish. Italianised his name on labels, and mischievously gave Cremona as his origin on some; hence the fictitious ‘Hieronymus Antonij’ who appears in several dictionaries as a Cremonese maker of the 18th century. — John Dilworth
