An interesting violin from Mirecourt, France, branded to the inside of the back (Thouvenel-Henry a Mirecourt).

​

Jean-Baptiste Thouvenel (1788 - 1858) 

married a Madame Henry. As was very common in Mirecourt at that time, he added his wife's name to his name, thereafter branding his instruments "Thouvenel-Henry". 

​

Made probably in about the 1820-30s, ​

this is a handsome old violin in good condition.
