About the Item

A well-made and quite charming miniature cello of typical form retaining its original custom velvet lined case complete with the original complimentary bow. The case contains a note in French which indicates this model was an apprentice piece made by a French luthier (string instrument maker). The note appears to have enhanced aging. A lovely model with a lot of character. Circa 1900-1920.
