Violin Restoration #2, this one has a nice story behind it!
This was one of the fake Vuillaume violins made by the thousands in the 1800′s; a 3/4 one.
Sometime in the late 1800′s, this violin was given by a Virginia farmer to the son of a freed slave who still lived and worked in the farmer’s land, who was the farmer’s son’s best friend, a controversial thing at the time.
They remained good friends for life! Fast-forward to 2017, the farmer’s great-great-granddaughter was going through the servants quarters in the farm which hadn’t been touched in decades, and she found the violin there, and passed it on to me to restore it.
When I got it, it was in terrible shape. The neck had come unglued and was nailed back in place, the button was broken, scratches everywhere...! Originally I felt I was going to just restore it, as least invasive as possible, but when I opened it and saw it had already been improperly repaired at some point in the past, which made it basically a wallhanger, I decided to rebuild it and make it fully playable again.
Turned out a nice 3/4 fiddle.
Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume (1798-1875) et Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) - Contrebasse “Sainte Cécile” avec un décor de Dominique Ingres, vers 1850
Cette contrebasse appartient à la production dite des “Sainte Cécile”. La vignette sous le talon du manche représente Sainte Cécile des Ternes ; sur le fond, une autre peinture représente Saint-Ferdinand, d'après Ingres.
Les instruments dits “Sainte Cécile” sont l’œuvre des deux frères Vuillaume : Jean-Baptiste vernit des instruments fabriqués à Mirecourt par son frère Nicolas, apposant sur le fond de l’instrument un décalque de Sainte Cécile, patronne des musiciens, jouant de la viole. Cette série a vraisemblablement duré une douzaine d’années, entre 1843 et 1856.
Instruments de bonne qualité, mais plus abordables que les productions signées Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, ces instruments étaient conçus afin de répondre au besoin des élèves. Leur vernis, rouge - orangé, et la finition moins élaborée les distingue des instruments de premier choix.
Plusieurs instruments “Sainte Cécile” ont été ornés d’une peinture de Saint Ferdinand, saint patron de l’église des Ternes, paroisse dans laquelle Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume possédait une maison de campagne. Réalisée au dos de l’instrument, celle-ci est la reproduction d’un modèle d’Ingres exécuté pour la Chapelle de la Compassion à Paris en 1842 (dont le carton est conservé au Louvre).
