Detail Introduction
Worked in Venice, 1853-1879. Modelling either that of a Stradivarius or Guarnerius - both splendidly conceived. Several connoisseurs have given unfavourable opinions regarding the tonal qualities, but, with all diffidence and deference, we suggest that their depreciation is entirely misplaced. Good specimens realised £50 in 1925. Plenty of vitality in the tone, and its mellowness is rapidly becoming something to be appreciated. Very satisfactory, fairly rich orange red varnish, sometimes of a brownish tinge. Excellent table wood, nicely flamed maple. Scroll and sound-holes in harmony with the graceful outline. Also several ’cellos generally esteemed. £85, 1959. ShopsDiscussion board forFabris,Luigi |
