Violin Labeled Joseph Antonius Rocca – Likely French, c. 1850
This full-size violin bears a label reading Joseph Antonius Rocca, but is most likely a French workshop instrument dating to around 1850. During the mid-19th century, many violins were labeled after renowned Italian makers as a marketing convention, particularly in Mirecourt, where this instrument’s construction style and materials suggest it may have originated.
The violin features a warm, reddish-brown varnish over a finely flamed maple back and a tightly grained spruce top. Tonally, it offers a rich, mature voice with warmth, complexity, and a focused core—well-suited to players seeking a vintage instrument with character and depth.
A compelling 19th-century violin with both visual elegance and musical presence, offering the charm of its era and a voice that continues to resonate.
