CASTAGNERI, Andrea Worked circa. 1730-1762 Paris France. Very fine and original work of the ‘vieux Paris’ school, but based on an elegant narrow Amati form with a somewhat pinched arch and slender corners. Fine rich golden-yellow varnish. Beech purfling almost invariably. Rare cellos are of small form.
