Antique Lupot Violin Bow Wood Round Shaft Beautiful Tip Frog Winding & Adjustment Screw
Item Description
Check out this beautiful Antique Lupot Violin Bow for your buying consideration.  We recently acquired this Lupot Violin Bow with a vintage violin and unmarked bow that will be sold separately in our store.  This violin bow would make a great gift for a special occasion, or keep for yourself!
We acquired a number of violin bows from the sale of the inventory of a closed luthier shop.  There were about 125 bows in that case.  Every time we pick a few more out to offer you, there ends up being another nice gem in there.  We will be offering these violin and cello bows to our clients over the next few months.
This violin bow is being offered to you at a price below what you would see in a fine luthier shop or auction house.   We can do that by being a dealer in musical instruments for over 40 years, better controlling our acquisition costs, keeping commission costs low (if applicable), and finally, we don't have the overhead that fine luthier shops and auction houses have
.
We typically have about 3-4 dozen different violin bows from many makers and of varying value for sale at any time.  So check out our online store out to see the other bows.
It appears the violin bow is made of wood.  Has a rounded shaft then eight sided by the frog.  This is a "Lupot" violin per the impression alongside the frog.  No marking of the country made in under the frog that you typically see with "reproduction" bows.
There were 3 Lupot luthiers known for their fine instruments and bow back in the 1700s and 1800s.  We cannot be sure of the bow's age and the actual maker.  No certificate of authenticity comes with this bow.  You be the judge of the maker and age of this violin bow before acquiring the piece.
Minor loss of the finish along the shaft.  Nice looking frog on it.  No cracks, splits or missing pieces to the ebony, mother of pearl or other materials.  Some chipping to the side of the frog.
The bow has no cracks, splits or repairs to the wood that we can see to report to you.  The bow still has a great finish on it.  Good camber.  Strong flex to the shaft and we can ascertain no warping, splits or repairs to report to you.  The bow has a silver colored wire wrapping with black tape/leather winding on the shaft.  Very nicely made adjusting screw.  Beautiful tip on this violin bow as well.  Some finish loss along one side of the tip.  There is old horse hair on the bow, it will need to be rehaired at some juncture.
The mother of pearl inlays are in place on the sides of the frog and along the bottom.  Appears to be a silver and ebony end screw.  The bow is 29.25" long.  The bow weighs 2.2 ounces (58 grams) with the horse hair on it.  Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures.
The pictures provided both complement and supplement the listing description, so please look at them very closely as well.  With old items, there is no way one can capture all the little imperfections in words, so the two media are meant to be the full description.
Make sure that this violin bow meets your needs and requirements before deciding to acquire it.   The item can be returned, there is a 10% restocking fee to do so.
So again, ask all questions you have, come see in person or send a friend to see the violin on your behalf, prior to deciding to acquire it.
