uguntde Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Here a French violin with a Stradivarius label. It has some heat damage to the varnish. The edge work and corners very exact, high linings as typical for French violins. The edge work and purfling as precise as Collin-Mezin's. Just Mirecourt violin?

antero Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 This unpretentious label seems to be original, right? Compare it, for starters, with the labels in 19/20 c French catalogues, available in Internet. Some detail: e.g. "Copie de" location (if present), etc may give you the hint.

jacobsaunders Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Presume JTL or similar Mirecout factory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin swan Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Just nice Mirecourt work. The scroll has been boldly chamfered to accomodate the inking, but this can be found on anything half-decent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
