Biographies
John Dilworth
HARRIS, Charles (II) Born 1791 London, died 1851 Steeple Aston, Oxfordshire UK. Son and pupil of his father Charles Harris (I), above. Worked for John Hart until 1828 when he inherited an estate in Steeple Aston, Oxford where he became known as ‘Lord Harris’. He continued working as a violin maker despite his new status and trained William Ebsworth Hill in Oxford c.1835-1838. His work is very precise and recalls that of contemporary London makers such as Lockey Hill or Thomas Kennedy, with golden amber coloured varnish and a generally Stradivarian or Amatisé model. Cellos are particularly admired. Signed internally. [BVMA]
