Unknown - 4/4 - - Violin - Slovakia - 1800 (No Reserve Price)

1. Introduction A full-size violin labeled Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1713 – Made in Czechoslovakia, produced in the mid-20th century for the European student and workshop market. Offered here as a restoration project. 2. Historical and Artistic Context During the interwar and post-war decades, Czech and Bohemian workshops became renowned for crafting affordable yet well-proportioned Stradivari-model violins. These instruments often display meticulous varnish work and precise arching, reflecting the enduring influence of Cremonese design across Central Europe. 3. Craftsmanship and Materials This violin features a two-piece flamed maple back with a vivid orange-brown transparent varnish and a straight-grained spruce top. The scroll and neck are hand-carved, showing typical workshop finesse. The purfling remains intact and finely inlaid, with elegant f-holes characteristic of the Stradivari pattern. 4. Tonal Character and Playability When properly restored, instruments of this origin are known for their bright projection, easy response, and balanced tone suitable for advancing students. The acoustic potential remains promising, pending a new professional setup. 5. Condition Offered as seen, without bridge, soundpost, strings, or case. Visible open seams and residual glue on the ribs and lower bouts, with an old joint repair at the neck root. No major cracks observed to the top or back. Structurally restorable and ideal for a trained violin restorer or luthier. 6. Measurements (cm) • Body length: approx. 35.8 cm • Upper bout: approx. 16.7 cm • Middle bout: approx. 11.2 cm • Lower bout: approx. 20.8 cm 7. Packaging, Shipping, and Warranty The instrument will be carefully packed and shipped with full insurance. No accessories or setup components are included. 8. Attribution Labeled Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis, Faciebat Anno 1713, Made in Czechoslovakia, mid-20th century.
