“A rare English violin by John Morris, Bath 1790”

A beautifully rich & characterful violin made in Georgian Bath.

A rare English violin made by John Morris, 1790 is now available at Ruschil London. Created in Bath at the height of its fashionable Georgian era, the violin is both petite and robust. Beautifully constructed from fine materials, the violin shows the work of a maker with great skill and confidence. Fine edgework, strong and graceful arching and a deep ruby red varnish show off the talent of Morris, who evidently had a fine eye for aethetics.

Violin expert John Dilworth on the violin:

“To those interested in English violin making, the appearance of an original, signed and dated violin by John Morris of Bath is quite an event. Especially when it is so well preserved. Morris' authenticated work is rare, and that may well be tied up with its close similarity to that of Benjamin Banks of Salisbury”
