CERTIFICATE:
This violin is the make of Italian Master/constructor D’ESPINE ALEXANDRE (1823-1842) following the model of ANTONIO STRADIVARI (Long Pattern) from the period of 1690 -1694 (360 mm, 170 mm, 115 mm, 205 mm). The surface plate is made of very beautiful PICEA FUNGENS and the bottom plate of outstanding ACER PLATANOIDES .The polish of best quality was used. This polish is consisted of Ferul resin ( Asiatic type ) GALBANUM & AMMONLACUM which DESPINE usually used and which is very similar to the polish of Ceruti, Cremona. The wooden material used for this instrument – (please see the pictures below) – already had an outstanding antiquated quality in the time of the erection, so that this fact may drive the expert into a trouble as the violin looks more ancient than as if it were made in the period of time in which D’ESPINE lived and worked. This violin is in very good state and represents one of the RARE SAMPLES of D’ESPINE ALEXANDRE [ALESSANDRE D’ESPINE], who, in his work, took a lot after LORENZO GIAMBATISTA GUADANINI, PIACENZE.THIS VIOLIN HAS BEEN APPRAISED AND CERTIFIED ON MARCH 3, 1984 (1.III.1984) No.293 in BELGRADE, SERBIA.
