Fine Old Italian Violin Vicenza 1885

A rare and beautiful, old Italian violin from Vicenza, bearing the internal brand of its maker on the back plate. This striking instrument exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and tonal depth characteristic of the northern Italian tradition.

The wood seems to have been carefully chosen here, with the back constructed from an exceptional single-piece of wood, paired with a finely grained top. The varnish is a deep reddish-brown with golden undertones, applied with the subtle texture and patina typical of older Italian work.

Professionally restored and set up to modern playing standards, this violin is fully ready to perform. Its sound is dark, powerful, and brilliant, with remarkable projection and clarity, like the wood and varnish suggest.
