Tarisio has abandoned the use of unnecessary descriptive terms

[Kim852]

I always get irritated by those terms such as “fine” “good” “interesting” “important” or even “property of a lady”

I think they are really unnecessary as the descriptive terms of the lots 

Glad to see Tarisio has abandoned this in the recent auctions

Awww. I kinda liked the "School of Van Gogh" some years ago as well as the "85% of a Salchow Cello Bow"!

Advertisers love using terms that mean nothing.

I'm waiting for someone to offer a "coarse, boring, common, and unimportant violin", that's "the property of a hooligan".  It would certainly be refreshing.

Sold! Just need to confirm that the certificate is authentic...

You told me you didn’t want to sell your Salustri

You've just accurately described the bulk of my collection...

In the case of the Tarisio's "School of Van Gogh" violin, I believe that was very descriptive.  One ear of the scroll was missing.

The left ear of the scroll...I have gone for School of Getty.

Do American scrolls have ears, or eyes?

Eyes from the side; ears from the front/back

Those terms presumably came from Sothebys and Christies.

I would suggest to divide the lots into reliably certified items and uncertified items. Better descriptions of the condition would be helpful too.
