Biographies
John Dilworth
THIR, János György (Johann Georg) Born circa. 1710 Prim, Schongau Germany, died 1779 Vienna Austria Best quality Viennese style work. High Stainer arch, somewhat reduced after 1775. Elegant long model. Dark semi-transparent chocolate varnish in Vienna. From 1750 changed his recipe to a good transparent golden-brown. Generally well-chosen materials. Succeeded by F. Geissenhof who completed a lot of his unfinished work and used his label (with dates from 1780-1791), leading to some difficulties in attribution.
