I put
on auction: Original “GASPARDO DIUFFO PRUGARD” violin with original
wooden case. It has the following characteristics:
- Antiquity
(I can’t precise it, the only thing I know is that it belonged to my great
grandfather) I was born in 1924.
- The
head of the neck represents, in a great carving, the sphinx of a person,
it’s supposed to be the
self-portrait of the author.
- The
lid also has some carved adornments.
- On
the back lid, in the lower part, it has a castle formed with pieces
of incrusted wood of different colors.
- In
the narrower part of the violin, in the rings has other similar but smaller
castles.
- Around
the violin, in those same rings, has a Latin script which reads: “VIVA
FVI SILVIS DVM MORTVA DULCE CANON” (Alive was I in the jungle, once
dead I sweetly sing).
- The
sound: It’s a beautiful mellow sound that invites the spirit to wonder and
strengthen.
The
violin itself is a true jewel or
artistic treasure that gathers many qualities, which may be acquired for:
its art, antiquity, or sound.
Base price: $ 250,000 dls.
