Biographies
John Dilworth
MARIANI, Antonio Worked circa. 1635-1695 Pesaro Italy. Often compared to Brescian work frequently having double purfling and decorative purfling designs, but no direct connection can be made. The decorative inlays are rather crude and unimaginative. The scrolls having unconventional flutings and volutes. The central ridge broadens out to a flat triangular form at the front of the scroll. The model is neat but unsophisticated, with narrow corners and similarly small wings to the soundholes. Materials generally very plain. Dark oxidised brown varnish, of good quality but not approaching contemporary Cremonese or Brescian recipes. His production is a little confusing since many have been converted into ‘faux Brescians’ and others remain unidentified and inconsistent. Very few retain authentic labels. The name has also been used in 19th century factory instruments.
