A compelling example by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, exhibiting a deep red varnish that speaks to the aesthetic refinement for which the maker is universally celebrated. This violin comes from the estate of the late celebrated violin maker, Luiz Bellini. With an attractive starting estimate, it represents a rare opportunity for a professional player seeking both pedigree and immediacy of use.
