English, mid-19th century. The interior label states "Jo: Baptista Ceruti Cremonensis fecit Cremonae An 1802," although it is not believed to be a Ceruti.  The case is modern and not the original. Paperwork is included. 

Dimensions: Approx. 23" long 

 

Condition: The violin requires repairs to be playable. The strings and bow are missing, and the tailpiece is detached but included in the case. The pegs and end piece are not attached but are stored in the case. There is no chin rest. The wood exhibits signs of wear throughout. It appears that some repairs have already been made to the violin.

🚚 Shipping Info – The SebastianCharles Way

Heads up! We like our shipping process just like our auctions — secure, insured, and smooth. Here’s how it all works.

📦 In-House Shipping (We’ve Got You Covered)

We offer in-house, fully insured shipping for the following categories:

  • 💍 Jewelry
  • 🪙 Coins
  • 🍴 Sterling Silver

Each in-house shipment includes full insurance, a signature requirement, and a $10 handling fee added to your final shipping cost.

🏢 All Other Items → Shipped via UPS

For everything else, we partner with a trusted local UPS Store for professional packing and shipping. When your items are ready, UPS will send you an invoice directly for payment and shipment tracking.

🔐 Address Rules (We Take Fraud Seriously)

To protect our buyers and our business:
