Biographies
John Dilworth
PILLEMENT (PILLEMONT), (Jean) François Born 1758, d. after 1830 Mirecourt France. Known as ‘Pillement père’, since some authorities assume that ‘Jean François Pillement’ is his son, but this seems not to be the case. ‘Jean’ and ‘Jean François’ are the same individual. Many fine violins, cellos, and double basses. Branded and labelled variously ‘Mirecourt’, ‘Paris’ and ‘Cremona’, all made nevertheless in Mirecourt. Henley attributes his early work to the school of Gavinies style; subsequent work on Amati and finally Stradivari models. Workmanship not of the first order. Materials usually plain. Varnish good but inconsistent in shade and texture. Branded internally: ‘F. Pillementi / Père. A. Cremona’, ‘Pillemont père/ à Mirecourt’ or ‘F. Pillemont père/ à Paris’. Pillemont père / à Mirecourt fecit / anno 1799 F. Pillement père / à Paris fecit / anno 1806
