PARIS (PARISSE), Claude Worked circa. 1770-1814 Paris France. Established on rue du Roule-Saint-Honoré. Fine work, some with purfling inlaid in zig-zag fashion. Red-yellow spirit varnish. Claude Paris, luthier / rue du Roulle à Paris, 1780

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Seine Geigen ragen zwar nicht durch Tonschönheit hervor, sind aber oft
hübsch ausgestattet; die Einlagen brachte er gerne in Zickzacklinien an. Sein
Holz ist nicht sorgfältig gewählt, der Spirituslack von rothgelber Farbe. Er
wohnte in der Rue du Roule-St. Honoré und dürfte vor 1816 gestorben sein, da in diesem
Jahre sein Neffe Besitzer der Werkstatt war.

Cecie Stainer+

A maker at Paris, in the rue du Roulle-St.-Honore, 1775-91. In 1816 was joined by his nephew. In a violin, on which the purfling was a zig-zag pattern, both back and front, with spirit varnish, a red-yellow colour, was the label: ” Claude Paris, luthier, rue du Roulle a Paris, 1780.”
