Kallie Posted July 31, 2019 Report Posted July 31, 2019 Hi, Would I be correct in saying this violin was made in Mittenwald, probably around late 1800s? No signs of a scroll graft. No label. Thanks in advance.
Kallie Posted July 31, 2019 Author Report Posted July 31, 2019 Just now, Conor Russell said: No sign of a scroll graft? Sorry, neck graft.
deans Posted July 31, 2019 Report Posted July 31, 2019 Probably later neck/scroll. What does it look like at the heel of the neck, has it been rebuilt around that area?
Conor Russell Posted July 31, 2019 Report Posted July 31, 2019 No I'm not correcting you, but I think there may be a scroll graft..
Kallie Posted July 31, 2019 Author Report Posted July 31, 2019 No signs of a rebuilt neck heel. Only 2 small wedges on both sides.
Dave Slight Posted July 31, 2019 Report Posted July 31, 2019 From the first set of pictures, it looks like the bass side of the scroll has been cheeked. The volute looks much plainer, and you can see where it was feathered out.
Kallie Posted July 31, 2019 Author Report Posted July 31, 2019 Some of the pictures won't upload. Keep getting "-200" error.
Blank face Posted July 31, 2019 Report Posted July 31, 2019 I don't see it that old that it would need a scroll graft. This style and model was still common in the mid 19th, ground and varnish are usual to this period, too.
Dave Slight Posted July 31, 2019 Report Posted July 31, 2019 The new pictures clear it up, at some stage the scroll has been broken off. Retouching not terribly good either.
