Became ‘Cellier & Sohn’ 1844 and ‘F. Cellier & fils’ 1864. Cellier’s own work is very undistinguished. Instruments made by the company in later years were almost certainly imported factory works. K. Cellier Luthier / Hamburg F. Cellier & fils / Luthiers / Hamburg — John Dilworth

Ein K. Cellier lebte Anfangs der vierziger Jahre des
19. Jahrhunderts in Hamburg; schon 1844 heisst die Firma
»Cellier & Sohn«, auch »Cellier & fils« und 1855 nur
F. Cellier. Der Letzgenannte war wohl der Sohn. Ihre
Arbeiten sind nicht schlecht, am besten ihre Violoncelli.
