A violin by Andrea Guarneri, c1694 – table by John Betts

Price range: £50,000+

Violin by Andrea Guarneri, table by John Betts, ca 1790.

 

Extremely fine Italian violin made by Andrea Guarneri in Cremona 1694, obviously the table suffered some damage and was replaced by the great English maker, John Betts c1790. So often with these composite instruments you get a top that is found to try and fit the body of the instrument…so it’s nice to see in this instance a great maker of the past making a top in the style of the body to fit!

Condition is very good and any restoration done has been first class.

This violin is the property of one of the UK’s finest concertmasters and he has performed in Proms and concertos on this violin for the past 15 or so years.

Certificates from Charles Beare and W.E.Hill & Sons.
