Biographies
John Dilworth
SALOMON, Jean-Baptiste Deshayes Born 1713 Rheims, d. after 1767 Paris France. Established in Paris on the rue de Grenelle Saint Honoré at the sign ‘Sainte-Cécile’. Married Barbe Deshaies, the widow of J. Ouvrard in 1748. Thereafter adopted the name ‘Jean-Baptiste Deshayes’, and worked in the old Ouvrard shop in place de l’École. Appointed Master of the violin makers guild 1760. Highly successful businessman and dealer in all sorts of musical instruments. Many instruments bearing his name are presumed to be constructed by various outworkers. Chappuy and Guersan models are recognisable, and there is little consistency over his entire oeuvre. Varnish of softer red-brown to hard pale golden-brown. Frequently branded below back button: ‘Salomon’ or ‘Salomon à Paris’ Du Salomon / de Paris, 1740 Salomon / 1742 Salomon Luthier a Ste Cecille / Place de l’ecole a Paris, 1741 Parisiis apud Salomonem ad insign. / Sta Caecilia Scholae Palatio / 1754 Salomon / Maître Luthier à Paris, Rue / l’Arbre-sec à Ste Cecille
