Description
I have a nicolas lupot violin from the 1800s inside lable says nicolas lupot, luthier, rue croix des petits champa a paris, i'an 1800 .
Although the violin I have for sale here needs some restoration, it is an antique without a doubt, made by one of the most famous French Violin makers of the his time--1700-1800's. Also notably of some historic value, there is another lable inside that reads "Repaired by Joseph Keefer 1915, San Francisco." I did a bit of research and I found a listing in an old San Francisco Newspaper, "The San Francisco Call", Sunday, February 13, 1910, that listed Joseph Keefer as an expert violin maker and fine repairer whose shop was on Golden Gate av, corner of Van Ness.
