Description

Antique 4/4 Full Size German Violin w/ Bow & Fitted Coffin Case
.
In very good condition for its age, as seen in photos. I estimate late 1800s to early 20th century.
No identifying marks are inside, violin is marked only "GERMANY" at top of tailpiece and chin rest is marked "BECKER'S CHIN AND SHOULDER REST." along its top edge (chin rest is probably a later addition).
Mother of pearl inlays on pegs and button (button is chipped). Varnish (which appears original) shows some play wear on fingerboard and neck in the expected locations. The edge detail pinstripes appear applied in ink by hand and lie under the varnish.
The sound post is loose inside. No major damage or issues, though there are some abrasions on the top, a couple of areas of edge damage on the edge of the lower bout and there's a crack running under the chin rest.
Single piece true flame maple back is in excellent condition. Overall, this violin appears straight and true and deserves to be brought back into service.
Comes with original fitted "coffin case", which is in pretty good shape as well, with a loose piece of wood at one end (I considered reglueing it, but though that's better left to the new owner). The case has brass fittings and its inner compartments are all carefully constructed of wood. The violin fits in nicely preventing damage from shifting around. The velvet cloth needs refitting or replacement. No key.
Full size bow is unmarked, has mother of pearl details.
