English Violin, George Craske

A violin bearing an interior printed label reading “Made by George Craske (born 1797, died 1888), and sold by William E. Hill & Sons, London.” This wording identifies the named maker and London firm as stated on the label; the label alone does not establish independent authentication, a specific year of construction, or documented provenance.

The violin displays warm amber-brown varnish, a traditional outline, and a pronounced horizontal flame in the maple back. Figured ribs and a warm-toned neck complement the back. The front has aged amber-brown varnish, traditional f-holes, and dark fittings.

This description is based on the supplied photographs and the visible label. No independent certification, condition assessment, or provenance verification is implied. Please contact The Violin House of Weaver for further information on measurements, condition, authenticity, and availability.
