Untitled work
School : France
Description
L'instrument présente une tête d'homme barbu aux yeux de sulfure, sculptée et formant la tête de l'instrument. La physionomie laisserait penser qu'il pourrait s'agir d'un portrait d'Auguste Tolbecque relativement jeune. L'intérêt de l'instrument réside aussi dans le choix des bois d'une qualité irréprochable, épicéa et érable fortement ondé pour le dos et les éclisses ; table et éclisses sont ornées d'arabesques dans le goût de la Renaissance, des armoiries sont peintes sur la table, les bordures sont filetées à filets simples. Le dos ne présente aucun décor. Le vernis utilisé est jaune orangé, à l'huile. L'instrument en parfait état possède tous ses accessoires d'origine : clés en noyer avec grains en os ou ivoire tourné ; cordier en noyer ; touche à décor de filets et d'arabesques ; chevalet caractéristique de Tolbecque.
