Ditta d'esportazione mondiale B. Cazzani & C. - - Horn - Italy - 1900 (No reserve price)

Rare and fascinating antique French horn
A piece of historical significance for collectors of musical instruments and antiques.
On the bell is the splendid original, clearly legible inscription: "Premiato Stabile B. Cazzani Milano - Esportazione Mondiale".
The Cazzani company was one of Milan's historic workshops of excellence, later known for merging with the Rampone brand.
Mechanics: Equipped with 3 rotary valves.
The mechanisms are incomplete as shown in the photo
Aesthetic and structural condition: The instrument shows a beautiful natural patina of age on the brass. As visible in the photo, the curve of the main tubing shows several dents and evident chips due to the years. There are no through-holes or cracks.
Being made of antique brass, I have chosen to keep the original patina.
