Full Description
A gorgeous French violin with a one piece back from the Paris firm of Caressa & Français made in 1913.
Felix Albert Caressa (1866-1939) and Henri Français (1861-?) met when they were both employed by the Gand & Bernardel workshop in Paris. Français was born into a family steeped in both of Mirecourt’s legendary exports: violins and lace. He apprenticed under Darte before moving to Paris to work for Gand & Bernardel in 1880, and he was made foreman after the death of Charles Eugène Gand in 1892. As a young luthier, Français’ work gained attention with gold medals at the 1897 Brussels Exhibition and the 1900 Paris Exhibition. Read more…
