ANTIQUE FRENCH VIOLIN DOUBLE PURFLING BACK PARIS FRANCE FLEUR DE LIS BACK 4/4

Description

Antique violin, has what is left of a Paris France Gaulnier ? De L opera ect. label found inside.I am speculating about the G before the aulnier (will be in a bag inside case with the instrument). Will need a new tailpiece.  It has double purfling indicative of  Maggini school.Also has purfling decorated back of fleur de lis.  No cracks that I see. Sound post floating around inside. The neck has a fine wood sliver to raise the finger board.  This violin must have been repaired by George Conway at some time as the bridge has his name on it (you can Google more on him).  He repaired and built violins c 1900 in Ohio. The neck scroll where the pegs go thru has been repaired, probably by Conway. Also the bow underneath is marked IXV. The bow is 55 grams and 28 1/4" long. Octagonal near the front going to round at the middle.  ( see photo of bow next to violin.) Violins body is 14" long. Overall length is approx 23 1/2", making it a full size 4/4.  ref 631.
