On the violin’s interior, there is a plaque stating “Josef Antonin Cermak, Houslar, Kutna Hora, 1926". The violin is in an antique case and two, very high quality bows made of wood and horsehair are also included. The bows are not marked. Josef Antonin Cermak was a very notable and influential violin creator in the Czech school. He created professional violins in the style of Amati, Stainer, Stradivari and Guarneri.
