Henley: Born at Mirecourt in 1893, a pupil of Mougenot; worked for Caressa & Francais in Paris. Modeling somewhat similar to that of Gand. Wins attraction by its refinement. Workmanship has all the subtlety of experienced skill. Scroll, sound-holes and purfling, all neatly done. Red-brown oil varnish on yellow ground – of sparkling effect. Tone completely in accordance with modern requirements. Won the Grand Prize at the Exposition de l’Artisanat, Paris, 1927.
