ANTIQUE Conservatory 4/4 Violin BEAUTIFUL Figured Maple

Click to View Image Album

Welcome to my auction for an antique 4/4 violin that was recently acquired from a Pennsylvania estate. I'm not sure who made it or exactly when, but it does remind me of some late 1800s European models that I sold recently on Ebay. So you can best appraise the value of this violin, I've taken many photos with close ups and if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help answer any of them.

The body measures 14" long and is 8" wide at its widest point. The top is solid with no cracks or separations anywhere. The neck is firmly attached and straight. I have the sound post, but it is not set up inside the body. The purfling is genuine and not something painted on just for decoration. The maple of the back and sides is some of the most beautiful grained maple I have seen in a violin.

The label inside the violin reads as follows...

Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonenfis
Faciebat Anno 1713.

Written on the back of the scroll is "Conservatory Violin".

Included with this violin will be the case that I found it with. It is in solid shape with working latches and hinges and the handle is well attached. There will be no bow included.

I'll only charge you what it costs me for shipping & packing and I'll add full insurance for free. To figure out your exact shipping and handling costs, just enter your zip code in the shipping calculator below.

Best of luck to all you bidders out there, and...

Have fun bidding.
