An Early 19thC Violin Attributed to John Betts of London c.1800-20 sub-Religion & Relics The gesso is a little

The gesso is a little fragile and brittle but once on a wall she would be fine

inspired directly by the designs of E

Usually this type of piece would be carved in wood so this is a little unusual being in earthenware

The chair has obviously been in good use and as such the ebonisation has signs of wear especially to the top of the arms

which contributes much to the enjoyment of the winter evening parties
