A fine German violin bow by Carl Albert Nurnberger, made in Markneukirchen, c.1930. Round stick of dark-golden pernambuco, mounted in silver and ebony with plain frog. A very pure example of the elegance of the great German maker’s work. In excellent condition.
History & Provenance
Carl Albert Nürnberger built on his father Franz Albert Nürnberger Jr.'s success to bring his family's long tradition of bow making to its peak in the 1920s. He apprenticed in the family workshop Markneukirchen, where he gained the skills required to produce the firm's signature Tourte-model bows. Working alongside his brother Philipp Paul, he further refined the model, turning the respected family workshop into one of the world's best, unsurpassed in consistent quality and precision.
