Violin by François LeJeune – Paris
This full-size violin bears a label dated 1787 and attributed to François LeJeune, a noted Parisian maker of the 18th century. While the label suggests a posthumous date—LeJeune is believed to have died in 1785—the instrument was likely crafted during the 1770s, within the active period of his career. Known for his refined workmanship and graceful modeling, LeJeune was part of the distinguished French school that flourished in Paris prior to the French Revolution.
This example features a golden-red varnish with a soft patina, a finely flamed maple back, and a delicately carved spruce top. Tonally, it speaks with warmth and complexity—offering a resonant lower register, a clear, singing upper end, and a nuanced dynamic response. The violin’s elegant voice and historical character make it an outstanding choice for performers and collectors alike.
A rare and musically rewarding 18th-century French violin, embodying the artistry of one of Paris’s respected pre-Revolutionary makers.
