Labeled, "Imitazione di Nicolo Amati Cremonese fatta da Degani Eugenio Anno 1891 Venezia." Inscribed to the label, "1891."
LOB: 35.7 cm
The violin is built on a well-proportioned model that is both practical and comfortable for players. The scroll, carved from plainer wood than the back and ribs, is deeply undercut and executed with precision, providing a subtle but characteristic contrast within the instrument’s overall aesthetic.
Degani’s work is distinguished by its consistency and refinement, and this example captures those qualities convincingly. With its balanced construction, careful workmanship, and strong attribution, it represents an appealing choice for musicians while also carrying the weight of a respected and collectible name within the Venetian tradition.
