            <p style="FONT-SIZE:13px;COLOR:#666666;">A fine old Italian 
            instrument, the work of the celebrated Antonio Stradivari of 
            Cremona, circa 1698. This violin, known as the "Cabriac", is a good 
            and characteristic example of the maker's work, and measures 35.6 cm 
            in length of body, with widths of 16.1 cm and 19.9 cm full.</p>
            <p style="FONT-SIZE:12px;COLOR:#666666;">The Cabriac by Antonio 
            Stradivari was made circa 1698 (the last figure of the date on the 
            original label is indistinct) but unlike many of the 'long pattern' 
            violins made during the 1690s this instrument has a standard back 
            length of 356 mm. There is the mark of a noble family (a coronet and 
            fleur de lys) branded on both sides of the end pin. It has spent 
            much of its life in France and Switzerland having been owned by the 
            family of Count de Cabriac, Emile Francais, Dr Bonjour of Geneva and 
            for some years in the hands of the Harbisreutinger Collection. It 
            also appears in a Sotheby's sale catalogue in 1986. It was 
            subsequently owned by the collector Bernie Goldblatt before passing 
            to its present owner.</p>
