French Violin, Shop of Caressa & Français – c. 1920, Paris
This full-size French violin, made around 1920, comes from the distinguished Parisian atelier of Caressa & Français, one of the most prestigious violin-making and dealing firms of the early 20th century. Successors to the legacy of Gand & Bernardel, the shop was known for producing and selling instruments of exceptional quality, often crafted by some of the finest French makers of the period.
This violin features a finely flamed two-piece maple back, a tightly grained spruce top, and a beautifully transparent reddish-orange varnish typical of the French tradition. Tonally, it offers a warm, refined sound with brilliant clarity and excellent projection—suited for advanced players and professionals seeking a responsive and elegant instrument.
A distinguished example of early 20th-century French violin making, combining tonal sophistication with historic pedigree.
