Jean Baptiste Vuillaume Fait à Mirecourt, France 1890

  • A beautifully preserved French Mirecourt violin c. 1890, Vuillaume model, delivering a brilliant  tone with the seasoned depth of over a century of music.
  • Made in Mirecourt, the historic centre of French violin making, this 1890 instrument was crafted in the style of Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, whose influence shaped an entire era of luthiery. Mirecourt’s workshops were known for their exceptional precision and consistency, producing instruments admired for their elegance, clarity, and refined tonal character.
  • This violin reflects that tradition: graceful arching, clean workmanship, and a beautifully matured varnish that has developed warmth over more than a century.
  • Its voice carries the unmistakable qualities of the Vuillaume school — brilliant, responsive, and seasoned with depth, offering a tone that is both powerful and richly coloured. A true representation of Mirecourt’s golden period, preserved with remarkable character and charm.
