4 Star Wang Wenqing Workshop Violin attributed to Ralph Agutter 17th Century Unique Masterpiece Copy [308]
| Why have we made this violin? Violins throughout the 17th and 18th century have all retained many of their flavours. Apart from the dimensions of the violins, many famous violinmakers also included some inscriptions or emblem design on some of the violins they make, especially if it was dedicated to a king or some member of the Royal family. As many of the bidders would know me, I am a great fan of such craftworks so whenever I travel in Europe in search of old violins, I always keep a lookout for such masterpieces. But sometime these violins are kept in museums and they only allowed me to take some detailed photos. From these photos, I seek to recreate the magic of these violin. There was no original label in the violin I seek to re-create in this model. This violin would have been made for the Royal Household either late in the reign of Charles II (r.1660-1685). This instrument has been attributed to Ralph Agutter,a London maker, who was active at this time. The neck and pegbox are very similar to those belonging to two Agutter violins in private collections, one of which is also carved on the back. What else is unique about this violin? This violin is part of our “Make it good and make it rare” collection, which we limit the number of such violin we make at our workshop so there is very little in circulation. As time goes by, the value of this instrument is expected to appreciate, because it is made a concert instrument, using some of the best wood and by one of our most respected violinmakers in our stable. We hope you will enjoy it. Measurements (in mm) |
