Hello, dear customer. You have here the possibility, to buy an old violin with label. On the pictures is to be seen, that it is an old and nice instrument. It is a full size violin (whole length: 590 mm, body: 358 mm, upper bouts: 167 mm; middle bouts: 114 mm; lower bouts: 204 mm) with label inside: Georges Chanot a Paris Annee 1855 The violin is in a very good condition, without cracks on the body, but there is small repaired crack on the head!!! Violins and bows described as 'certified' or 'attributed' include images of their certificates and are therefore considered to have a higher degree of documented certainty regarding maker, origin, and age than instruments described only as 'labelled' (violins) or 'stamped' (bows), for which we provide no guarantee of any kind
