Notable Sales
Over the last 50 years, Sotheby’s and Ingles & Hayday have sold many of the world’s finest instruments. Our makers’ archive contains high resolution images of instruments ranging from the great Cremonese masters of the 17th and 18th centuries to the leading modern Italian violin makers. We also feature the work of many rare luthiers, including Bellosio, del Bussetto, Celoniati, Emiliani, Gobetti, Mori Costa, Rota and Zanotti.
