About the violin
This French violin by Caussin family workshop around 1880. Francois Hippolyte Caussin (1830-1898) worked with his father Francois Caussin (1794-1866) in Neufchâteau. After his father had died Francois Hippolyte and his brother Nicolas Caussin carried on the business. Both brothers and the father are well known for their copy style of Italian masters. It is a splendid copy of model from Nicolaus Amati, a remarkable master violin catching the eye, with a striking outline, distinctive fluting and an eye-catching antiqued varnish, all marked by the style of the most prominent figures in French violin making that was prevalent in the mid 19th century.
