Biographies

John Dilworth

DE PLANIS, Augustino Born circa. 1725, died 1800 Genoa Italy. Rather loose work, typical of the Genovese school. Long ā€˜c’ bouts and diminutive corners. Slender pegbox, although broad from the rear aspect, with small volute. Long angled soundholes and flat arch with pale yellow-gold varnish over a grey ground. His son Antonio (died 1841) was also a maker, but his work has not been positively identified. Augustinus de Planis / fecit Genuae 1750 [Kass]
