A Marquis de Lair violin, circa 1925. £895.00 stock no. WP200
Méditation de Thais.
These instruments have become quite hard to find over the last few years. They were produced by one of the Mirecourt workshops as copies of instruments by a much earlier maker. This one is unusual in the very stylized varnish on the front, to me it is a "Jean Paul Gaultier" figure, or perhaps one of the "plump ladies" in the paintings of Beryl Cook! The condition of this example is excellent with just a few small marks and imperfections to the varnish, the violin has the Marquis de Lair label and is also branded below the button on the back. The back length is 14.3/16 inches (36 cm.). Set up with Pro-Arte strings and supplied in a new light weight case. A violin with a lovely whymsical tone. Plays well, fast becoming collectors items!
