Antique French violin, handcrafted in Mirecourt around 1820 in the typical style of the era. This violin from the first half of the 19th century is a model with a beautiful tone, featuring a well-defined arch and double purfling. The f-holes and the inlay work are particularly fine examples of craftsmanship and are executed to a high standard. The two-piece top is made of straight-grained, medium-aged spruce, and the one-piece back is made of flamed maple. The transparent, light-brown varnish is in excellent condition with few signs of wear and bears a wonderful patina. This attractive French violin is in very good condition, with no cracks or repairs. Its sound is warm, full-bodied, and powerful, with brilliant highs that underscore the violin’s character. Like all of our violins and violin bows for sale, this well-preserved antique string instrument is offered in the Corilon violins online shop with a 30-day right of return and Corilon's trade-in guarantee.
