Biographies
John Dilworth
SAWICKI, Carl Nicolas Born 1792 Lviv Ukraine, died 1850 Vienna Austria. Finest maker of the Vienna school. Very distinguished and accurate workmanship. Fine copies of Stradivari and Guarneri. Excellent golden-orange or red varnish of good depth and transparency. Handsomely flamed maple and close straight-grained spruce. Violins, violas, and cellos known. One violin of 1848 with extensive mother of pearl inlay. Unfortunately his authentic work is relatively rare and false labels are found optimistically placed in inferior work.
