SOLD: Violin by Giulio Degani,
Venice, 1902. Degani
was 27 years of age when this violin was made, and is the earliest example
I have seen that is a departure from his father Eugenio’s model. The
body length of 35.7 cm is considerably reduced from the 36.7+ cm length
his father often used. The edges,
while still deeply fluted, are somewhat softer without the over-sharp
line at the top of the edge favored by Eugeno.
Likewise with the scroll, which is still deeply cut, but with more
rounded chamfers. Very striking,
highly-flamed two piece back, sides and scroll, with a tight, even grained
spruce top. This instrument
is covered with the maker’s best quality oil varnish: deep reddish orange-brown
in color over a golden base. Condition
is excellent; the tone is powerful and rich in overtones. CM#

SOLD:
Violin by Sebastien Vuillaume, CA 1860. Sebastien was
the nephew of JB Vuillaume and worked in his Uncle’s shop for several
years beginning in 1853. This
example shows the influence of those years with his uncle, from the stunning,
highly figured wood of the one-piece back to the beautifully antiqued
and highly transparent varnish. This
violin is in a remarkable state of preservation and will give its new
owner many years of trouble-free enjoyment.
