Antique French Violin 4/4 Attributed Workshop of Amedee Dieudonne Circa 1920. Good Quality Violin ! Two pieces back, label inside. Amédée Dieudonné Violin maker (1890 – 1960) Born in 1890, Amédée Dieudonné learned violin making with Gustave Bazin, son of bow maker Charles Nicolas. He worked for the Darché firm in Brussels before settling in his hometown of Mirecourt around 1920. Over the next 40 years he was extremely productive, building violins for himself and for numerous firms, including Rudolph Wurlitzer, Moennig, Blanchard, Laberte, Mangenot, and Millant. Some of these bear Dieudonné's label, which he often signed, while others simply bear workshop labels. His work shows good craftsmanship and is largely on classical Cremonese models, often bearing a striking orange-red varnish.
