A fine violin from Paris made in 1928, made by Emile Laurent in the most mature and finest phase of his work life. Emile Laurent II, a master of his craft, signed the instrument with his original label. His years of travel from 1894 to 1912 took him to renowned workshops such as Blanchard in Lyon, Emile Germain and Caressa & Français. After a period of self-employment in Bordeaux from 1912 to 1925, Laurent returned to Paris, where he worked independently again from 1926. This fine violin, which is in almost mint condition, shows no significant signs of wear. The original bridge stamped by Emile Laurent in 1928 is also preserved. The violin, a masterful French interpretation of the Stradivari model, captivates with its magnificent sound. The fine varnish in a bright dark red on a golden yellow ground with subtle shading and the blackened scroll give the instrument an extraordinary aesthetic. Despite its age of almost 100 years, the violin is in perfect condition. It has been awakened from a long sleep, which suggests that it has hardly been used. With its large, mature and full-bodied sound, it is perfect for professionals and soloists. A Corilon certificate confirms the authenticity and quality of this extraordinary instrument.
