A violin by Eugenio Degani, Venice, 1893
Price range: £50,000+
Eugenio Degani (1842-1901) was a talented Italian luthier. Born in Merlara Italy in 1842, he learnt the art of violin making from his father, Domenico Degani. In 1872, he opened up his first workshop in Montagnana before moving to Venice in 1888. It is said that he was very influential in founding the 20th C Venetian school of violin makers and taught many notable students there, including his son Giulio.
Degani’s skill in violin making demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship and a unique style. At times his instruments would imitate the styles of the old masters, including Stradivari and Guarneri. Eugenio Degani was considered one of the great violin makers of the 19th century, his instruments highly sought-after by musicians and collectors today.
This violin made in 1893 is an extremely mint example..original fingerboard, original neck!
No cracks!!!!! Come with a Millant certificate too (OK , it’s not a bow!!)
I love Degani and it’s nice to have 2 great examples.
