Notable Sales: William Forster III
William Forster Junior, sometimes referred to as ‘Young Forster’, was born in 1764 and worked with his father from the age of 15. He became a partner in the business in 1800. Over the next quarter of a century he worked in York Street, The Strand and Lisle Street, continuing the work of his father but gradually abandoning the Amati and Stainer models which were popular in the 18th century and adopting the Stradivari model. His cellos are particularly sought after.
