AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful old 4/4 violin, presumably originating from a German or Bohemian violin-making region (Markneukirchen / Schönbach), dating from around 1900–1930. This is a solid workshop instrument, intended for students and orchestra use.
The violin has a two-piece back made of maple with a distinct horizontal flame, characteristic of European violin making from this period. The top is crafted from spruce wood. The varnish is two-colored, with a darker edge and a lighter center (so-called shaded finish), widely used in German and Bohemian workshops around the early 20th century.
On the right side, engraved internal workshop markings are visible (e.g., '4R Vlg eo / 4A vlq eo'). These are not maker's signatures but production markings typical of violin workshops from this region and period.
The violin shows signs of use and patina appropriate for its age, including lighter spots in the lacquer, likely caused by prolonged use. No visible structural cracks observed.
Delivered in a wooden violin case, lined on the inside with original decorative floral paper, which contributes to the historic character.
A characterful, honest old violin with beautiful wood grain, suitable as a study or orchestra instrument or as a collector's item.
