Full description
"Alongside with Ole Bull, its bold form highlights Guarneri's late work; its strong work shows the typical identity of ''del Gesù". According to Biddulph, Sainton is a master violin giving the impression of a hurried maker trying to complete his final instrument while attempting to achieve a convincing acoustical and stylistic result. A pronounced kink to the lower curved of the c-bouts, especially visible from the bass side is a typical style of Guarneri's last works. The carving of its head and F-holes are even more hurried and shaky than the others from the same period. The Fs lean towards each other and the purfling cut and finish confirm ''del Gesù's" exceptional work. This violin highlights his freedom of expression, as in his final works each head seems to be different from any other." Luiz Amorim

Violin bow by Eugène “Cuniot-Hury”, Mirecourt, c. 1895
By Eugène “Cuniot-Hury” |
This amazing French bow offers the best classic attributes expected from this maker. The very elegantly made round stick and the neat and precise mounting make his bows well-appreciated by musicians and collectors. In our opinion, the perfect round progression of the stick remarks as this bow's highlight.
