John Dilworth

SOFFRITTI, Ettore Born 1877, died 1928 Ferrara Italy. Son and pupil of Luigi Soffritti, below. Medals awarded in Rome 1923, Brussels 1910, Ferrara and Turin 1911. Knighted in 1925. A loyal and very distinguished exponent of the ‘Emilian school’, inspired by Marconcini, he in turn inspired many other makers in the Emilia Romagna region. Very neat and well-organised work, with softened but well-defined rounded edges. Scroll beautifully concentric and finely balanced, with a delicately rounded and consistent chamfer. Low archings. Excellently placed and cut soundholes. Fine transparent oil varnish, soft and reflective, in various shades of golden-orange.
