Description
A superb English violin by Jack Lott, London, circa 1840
Jack Lott as he is known (otherwise John Frededick (II) Lott) is the ultimate copyist of the nineteenth century, and he is especially praised for his copies after Guarneri del Gesu. This violin reflects Guarneri’s stule from about 1740, and is a spectacular example of his work, perhaps the only significant give-away being the American sugar maple that he chose for the back. Superficially this gives a spectacular Cremonese look, but to the expert eye the erratic flame is easy to characterise.
Certificate: Benjamin Hebbert
Condition notes: The violin is in a good state of preservation.
