John Dilworth

GAND, Charles Adolphe Born 1812, died 1866 Paris France. Son and pupil of Charles François Gand, below. Active from about 1830 and succeeded to the business 1845, working with his brother Eugène, below, as ‘Gand Frères’ from 1855. First prize at the 1855 Paris Exhibition. Made Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur 1862. Luthier to the Paris Opera and to the Emperor. Renowned as an expert connoisseur and restorer of classical instruments, and as a consequence produced relatively few himself. Excellent work on the Stradivari model; very finely and accurately finished, bearing a fairly soft orange varnish.
