For auction an old vintage nice French violin I got from my researches .
Please note that this violin is in an "as-found" condition and would need some little repairs. Note that the violin has no break on the back and no break at the soundpost level, as pictured. To be noticed some little varnish dents and some breaks on the front as pictured. This violin is not in a playable condition, it needs all the equipment, string, tailpiece, etc... This is a beautiful old French violin with an old label inside "d'après Antonius Stradivarius... anno 1759", as I tried to picture . This violin was probably made in the Collin-Mezin workshop as it has all the caracteristics of the violins built in this workshop in the early 1900's, in my opinion only. It has indeed a typical wood, back, purfling, varnish and head. Please ask me for more pictures for details if it can help... The length of the violin is 35,7 cms for the back only, total length of 58,7 cms. This violin has a very elegant natural amber patina all over... The head is deeply curved and expressive, the inlaid purfling is beautiful. Beautiful French violin!! The violin will be shipped with a good and secured packaging; shipping all over the world... Please do not hesitate to email me with questions if needed. Happy bidding! NB. see my other listings and group!
