We are a virtual and accessible auction house dedicated to fine-stringed instruments, bows, and accessories. We bring collectors, musicians, and enthusiasts together from around the globe to explore a curated selection of exceptional instruments. There are valuation certificates from our company available for extra charge 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.
