2053 FRANCESCO RUGGIERI: Maker: 1668-1700. (Cremona)

23This and following lots, Nos. 53 to 84, are listed as experts have found them and believed them to be; they are listed by experts and not mere guessers. They are not guaranteed as listed, and therefore there can be no dispute as an aftermath of the sale. The Violins will stand on their own merits and will bear all honest criticism.
