Violin Labeled Raffaele ed Antonio Gagliano, Quodam Giovanni – Likely German or Czech, c. 1880
This full-size violin bears a label reading Raffaele ed Antonio Gagliano, Quodam Giovanni, Napoli, 1839, though it is most likely a German or Czech workshop copy made around 1880. Instruments like this were commonly produced in the late 19th century, modeled after celebrated Italian makers and intended for export to meet growing demand for affordable, well-built violins.
The violin features a warm, reddish-brown varnish, a well-carved scroll, and aged tonewoods that contribute to its rich visual character. Tonally, it offers a clear, focused sound with a warm core—responsive and well-balanced, making it a solid choice for advancing students or players seeking a vintage instrument with personality and depth.
A charming 19th-century copy that delivers both historical style and musical integrity.
