You are bidding on a good 4/4 violin, labeled "H. C. Silvestre a Paris 1875 HCS".

Condition:

Some wear and tear to golden brown varnish. Small repaired crack to a-peg-hole.

Description:

Good quality high to medium grained spruce was chosen for the top, and the maple of the two pieces back with beautiful narrow grain is softly flamed. Matched sides and scroll. The double inlaid purfling is a tasteful work of good craftsmanship, just as the shining, golden brown varnish. The whole length of the violin is 590 mm and the back 355 mm. The width of the upper bouts: 165 mm; middle bouts: 116 mm; lower bouts: 204 mm. Full size. The sound is very deep, rich, warm and powerful.
