Detail Introduction
Worked at Rouvres-la-Chétive near Neufchâteau (France), 1820-1865. Modelling of rather small proportions - splendid intentions of Italian traits - varied designs. Many specimens sold as geniune Italian, but though the copying is remarkably good, careful examination dispels that imagination. Generally full arching - sound-holes and scroll completely artistic - nice purfling. Wood chosen to replicate the models imitated. Varnish (usually golden brown of good quality), also applied as though much used. Tonal quality often attractively clear and sweet. Also ’cellos. Branded ‘Caussin’. ----------------------------- Caussin Luthier Neufchàteau (Vosges) ----------------------------- ShopsDiscussion board forCaussin,Francois(Aine) |
