English late C18th/early C19th Small Violin with Glorious Back

Small English violin, late C18th - early C19th. Unlabelled.

Top block not original and some linings replaced.

Appears to have had a through neck orginally.

Striking, attractive, glorious one-piece back. Similar in appearance to John Furber violins, but that's where similarities end.

Neck, scroll replaced at some stage - lovely quality.

Attractive deep amber/red varnish.

Restorations to front and ribs, including small additions of new wood.

Ebony fittings with quality bridge and Pro Arte strings.

This gem has been well lived in - it has been a labour of love to bring this violin back to life!
