Ory

Paris, worked 1790–1814

Three labels cited by Vannes; the only instruments recorded by him are guitars. Henley describes instruments, presumably violins, of massive proportions, flat modelling, and dark brown varnish, which might seem to indicate generic Mirecourt work. No such examples presently known. Guitar of 1814 bran\u{2026} — John Dilworth
