      Full description

      This bow differs from many of the bows made in the period by members of the Bazin family, who, in setting out to copy great examples of French bow-making, such as F.X. Tourte, replicated even then some details of antique bows that were no longer so common. This bow is a copy of Tourte's model commonly called "Swan-head", due to the elongated shape of the bow's tip. This style was also widely used by other great archetiers such as Joseph Henry. Closer to what is expected from the proposal of a cello bow of the time, this model confers great stability and quick response while preserving a more delicate profile throughout the bow, in which the distance between the hair and the stick is slightly narrower.

      Neapolitan Violin, Naples, c.1850

      By Neapolitan School of Violin Making  |  

      A beautiful violin made in the Neapolitan School is a representative example of the early modern violin-making scenario, showing the elegant and careful experimentation proved by those maskers answering the increasing demands of the musicians and their repertoires. From our point of view, the most impactful details of this fine violin are the typically Neapolitan elegant and thin-lined purfling, which curiously presents a deviation in the format of a semi-circle towards the center of the instrument at the upper part of the back in accordance to the aesthetic taste of the mid-1800s.
