A beautiful small bodied guitar with lots of top ornamentation. Appointed with double binding, pearl floral and vine inlays, wood marquetry "rope" pattern purfling, and a rather Dali-esque mustache bridge. Crafted with a spruce top, laminate Brazilian rosewood back and sides, and a highly figured neck with a 'ice-cream cone' heel. After over about 175 years, it would benefit from restoration and or just admiration. Own a piece of history. Comes with newer vintage-style case. Handmade, of indeterminate origin.
