The ribs are very mildly flamed. The unique scroll adds its very own special character to this violin, appearing mighty and male from the sides sitting on a very slim and elegant pegbox. The inlaid purfling is very. The most beautiful varnish is of a gorgoues golden red-brown color with expertly made antiqueings. Inside the violin is build with four corner blocks and full linings. The violin is in very good crackfree and undamaged condition, however, there is some reglueing of the ribs to the back plate at the end button (last photo). Comes untouched with its old setup and strings, the old case and bow stamped Vuillaume Paris (both in fair condition).
