Just in is an exceptional and glamorous violin by Paul Bailly of 1900. The setting-up has nearly been completed, and the price is likely to be £13,000. Also I have violins by Lavest of Montlucon, Jean Striebig and Claude Chevrier. | ||||

Other nationality violins | ||||
I'm excited about a beautiful Italian violin dating from the middle of the 18th Century that has just been restored. It is the property of a retired player, and is supposed to be by Camilli. I am unhappy to attribute it quite so accurately - there is only one peg in the back, instead of two, but it is still a glamorous thing, with a one-piece slab-cut back. I am prepared to guarantee it is Italian and mid-18th Century. The sound is exceptional. It's £25,000. | ||||
