19th Century Silver Violin Etui with Rococo Cherub and Floral Motifs

A silver sonata in miniature.

This 19th-century violin etui captures the spirit of music before sound was recorded — when melody was an offering to time itself. Crafted in repoussé silver with Rococo cherubs, climbing florals, and delicate scrolls, it feels alive, vibrating softly with the echoes of salons and candlelit soirées.

Every line of its body mimics the grace of a bow in motion. The strings — twisted by hand — shimmer like frozen notes, suspended mid-air. The back, a romantic tableau of cherubs and flowers, hints at a past life of artistry, perhaps once tucked into the pocket of a musician or dreamer.

A collector’s treasure, lyrical and rare.
