Francois Simon

worked 1785

Vannes gives only the date of his marriage (1785) and has no information about his work. Henley gives a description, not necessarily reliable, of a long model with flat arching, large scroll but graceful sound-holes. Red-brown varnish. Branded on the back button: ‘Simon’. — John Dilworth
