By John Dilworth

BOURBON, Nicolas Worked circa. 1763-1787 Mirecourt France. Godfather of Nicolas Vuillaume. Rather better work than that of François Bourbon, above; decent flat-arched model, red- or golden-brown varnish. Labelled and branded. Henley disapproves of his ‘chemical-charlatan’ wood treatments. Name subsequently used for commercially made student violins in Mirecourt with shaded varnish.
