Italian violin from the Florentine school

Around 1940, an unknown violin maker created this lovely Italian piece in the style of the Florentine school, which can be seen by the handwritten label “Silvio Vezio Paoletti / Fece in Firenze A. 1933.” And although the violin was not actually made by Paoletti himself, the artist who copied him nevertheless produced a work of outstanding quality: the harmonious aesthetic of this instrument includes a one-piece back of attractively grained poplar, a very lovely scroll and the rich, luminous spirit varnish of a brilliant orange-brown. Its long extended corners give it an individual character. The excellent, strong, brilliant sound of the violin projects well and can hold its own against other master violins. A minor repair was done on the left sound hole. We offer this violin in very good condition.
