A beautiful antique anonymous french master violin made circa 1800.Very handsome french master violin made circa 1800 by an anonymous yet very talented maker. The top is made of two parts of spruce, and shows irregular grain lines widening towards the center. The back is made of two pieces of flamed maple, the beautiful curl ascending from the center joint. The ribs, neck and head are of the same wood, and original to the instrument. The oil varnish employed, entirely original and in a gorgeous state of preservation, is of an orange color, with a beautiful texture. The f holes have been very nicely done after Stradivari, the purfling is very regular and ends at the corners with fantastic bee stings. The button of the neck, which has never been broken nor restored, has been also artistically carved and well rounded. A fantastic french work of the time with very fine materials.
