Louis Guersan was a Parisian maker active in the mid-18th century, working near the Comédie-Française in Lutetia (Paris) [1][2][3]. His labeled instruments from 1760–1761 document his production of both violins and cellos during this period. The consistency of his address inscription across multiple instruments—*propè Comoediam Gallicam Lutetiae*—establishes his workshop location as a fixed point in the Parisian lutherie trade. Beyond the evidence of his labeled instruments, biographical details remain limited to what the labels themselves convey.
