Le mod\u00e8le Pressenda s&#8217;inspire de ceux de Stradivari et Guarneri del Ges\u00f9, tout en proposant une forme nouvelle refl\u00e9tant sa conception de l\u2019instrument parfait. Le <em>modello Pressenda <\/em>est ainsi tr\u00e8s personnel et se singularise par ses formes pleines et nettes, qui ne tombent jamais dans la lourdeur &#8211; voyez la puissante et \u00e9l\u00e9gante volute de l\u2019alto de la vente du 2 juin 2022 -, et par des choix de bois de grande beaut\u00e9 et d\u2019excellente qualit\u00e9 acoustique. Vers la fin de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 1834, Pressenda engagea Giuseppa Rocca, qui allait devenir son plus brillant apprenti et digne successeur. Rocca reprit ce mod\u00e8le, si bien que certains de ses instruments sont pratiquement identiques \u00e0 ceux du ma\u00eetre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>N\u00e9anmoins, l\u2019un des luthiers les plus influenc\u00e9s par le mod\u00e8le Pressenda fut probablement Annibale Fagnola (1866-1939), qui en r\u00e9alisa plusieurs belles copies apr\u00e8s son installation \u00e0 Turin en 1894. Ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, plusieurs instruments de Fagnola ont \u00e9t\u00e9 vendus \u00e0 Vichy Ench\u00e8res, \u00e0 l\u2019instar d\u2019un beau violon r\u00e9alis\u00e9 en 1922 d\u2019apr\u00e8s un mod\u00e8le Pressenda. A l\u2019int\u00e9rieur de l\u2019instrument se trouvait d\u2019ailleurs un facsimile de l\u2019\u00e9tiquette du ma\u00eetre&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Le <em>modello Pressenda<\/em> fut repris par des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations de luthiers \u00e0 sa suite et continue aujourd\u2019hui de s\u00e9duire les musiciens et luthiers \u00e0 travers le monde.

D\u00e8s lors, ces \u00e9tiquettes semblent traduire l\u2019importance que pouvait avoir le p\u00e8re de Pressenda dans sa vie personnelle et professionnelle, puisqu\u2019il s\u2019agit d\u2019un hommage inhabituel qui conduit \u00e0 s\u2019interroger sur l\u2019activit\u00e9 du p\u00e8re. Raphael Pressenda \u00e9tait-il \u00e9galement luthier et son nom parlait-il aux musiciens de l\u2019\u00e9poque ? Selon les quelques documents d\u2019archives, celui-ci aurait en effet \u00e9t\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9 dans la vie musicale de son temps, en tant que<strong> <\/strong>violoniste populaire. C\u2019est probablement en voyant son p\u00e8re jouer du violon &#8211; et peut-\u00eatre \u00e9galement en r\u00e9viser quelques-uns &#8211; que Pressenda s&#8217;int\u00e9ressa \u00e0 l\u2019instrument et \u00e0 la lutherie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Eric Blot, <em>Liuteria Italiana 1800 \u2013 1950, 150 anni di liuteria, 150 years of violinmaking in Piemonte, Piedmont<\/em>, Vol IV, Eric Blot Edizioni, 2001<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Autre hypoth\u00e8se, G.

Au sein de l\u2019atelier, Pressenda apprit les m\u00e9thodes de construction fran\u00e7aises et s\u2019impr\u00e9gna de la forme en vogue en France. Il utilisa notamment le moule int\u00e9rieur de type fran\u00e7ais et non cr\u00e9monais<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. Chez L\u00e9t\u00e9-Pillement, il participa \u00e0 la construction de guitares, d&#8217;orgues et de violons et apprit de ses coll\u00e8gues fran\u00e7ais les techniques utilis\u00e9es \u00e0 Mirecourt \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque, qui se refl\u00e9teront plus tard dans ses propres instruments<a id=\"_ftnref2\" href=\"#_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> &#8211; comme en t\u00e9moigne l\u2019alto de la vente du 2 juin 2022. Cet instrument est d\u2019inspiration mirecurtienne dans l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation du mod\u00e8le Stradivari, dans la conception des vo\u00fbtes carr\u00e9es et dans l\u2019aspect du vernis. En outre, comme nous le rappellent les experts Jonathan Marolle et Jean-Jacques Rampal, le sillet du bas est incrust\u00e9 dans l\u2019\u00e9clisse, ce qui est typique de ce qui se faisait \u00e0 Mirecourt \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque. <br>Par la suite, Pressenda collabora avec plusieurs autres luthiers originaires de Mirecourt, tels que Joseph Calot et Pierre Pacherel. Ces derniers l\u2019aid\u00e8rent certainement \u00e0 r\u00e9aliser des parties d\u2019instruments, comme les volutes ou les <em>ff<\/em>. Plus que des collaborateurs, Calot et Pacherel \u00e9taient de v\u00e9ritables amis pour Pressenda, qui fut nomm\u00e9 parrain de la fille de Calot en 1827 et gar\u00e7on d\u2019honneur au mariage de Pacherel en 1829 &#8211; \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de L\u00e9opold Noiriel, probablement un autre de ses collaborateurs<a id=\"_ftnref3\" href=\"#_ftn3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a>. Dans sa forme et la r\u00e9partition de ses volumes, l\u2019alto de Pressenda est effectivement proche du travail de ces ma\u00eetres fran\u00e7ais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Eric Blot, <em>Liuteria Italiana 1800 \u2013 1950, 150 anni di liuteria, 150 years of violinmaking in Piemonte, Piedmont<\/em>, Vol IV, Eric Blot Edizioni, 2001<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" id=\"_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Ibid<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref3\" id=\"_ftn3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a> Ibid<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1054\" data-id=\"17025\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt.jpg\" alt=\"Mirecourt\" class=\"wp-image-17025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-1536x1012.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-1568x1033.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-100x66.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Mirecourt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-3-pressenda-alto-1826-vichy-encheres-2022-06-02-bouton-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"17027\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-3-pressenda-alto-1826-vichy-encheres-2022-06-02-bouton-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"G.

Le style de cette p\u00e9riode conjugue des influences fran\u00e7aises et italiennes et ses instruments offrent ainsi un parfait \u00e9quilibre entre ces deux \u00e9coles. L&#8217;\u0153uvre de Pressenda se distingue ainsi de la quasi-totalit\u00e9 des \u00e9coles italiennes de l\u2019\u00e9poque, d\u2019autant plus que le Pi\u00e9mont n\u2019avait pas de v\u00e9ritable tradition locale de lutherie. Du c\u00f4t\u00e9 italien, les instruments de Pressenda s&#8217;inspirent \u00e9troitement de Stradivari et de Guarneri, mais sans en \u00eatre des copies conformes. Les silhouettes sont plus masculines et larges, avec des \u00e9paules plus rondes et une cambrure plus marqu\u00e9e, notamment au niveau du chevalet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L\u2019alto de la vente du 2 juin 2022 est influenc\u00e9 par le mod\u00e8le Stradivari et l&#8217;ensemble a \u00e9t\u00e9 ex\u00e9cut\u00e9 avec une rare harmonie dans les proportions, de sorte que l\u2019instrument t\u00e9moigne d\u2019un remarquable m\u00e9lange de force et de gr\u00e2ce. En mettant au point ce nouveau mod\u00e8le, Pressenda d\u00e9finit les bases de son style. Il conservera toute sa vie une certaine libert\u00e9 et originalit\u00e9 en restant \u00e9loign\u00e9 des diktats propres \u00e0 une \u00e9cole. Cet alto rend \u00e9galement compte de son sens aigu du d\u00e9tail et de son savoir-faire raffin\u00e9 et accompli. Charg\u00e9 d\u2019une forte personnalit\u00e9, l\u2019instrument est typique des premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es du ma\u00eetre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Int\u00e9ressant y compris du point de vue acoustique, c\u2019est certainement ce type d\u2019instrument qui s\u00e9duisit les grands musiciens de l\u2019\u00e9poque, \u00e0 l\u2019instar de Polledro et Ghebart, ses mentors. Notons aussi que Pressenda \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s exigeant dans le choix de ses bois et qu\u2019il fut probablement approvisionn\u00e9 par des marchands fran\u00e7ais, tels que de Thiriot<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. En outre, ses instruments se distinguent par leurs filets, g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement en \u00e9b\u00e8ne, joliment incrust\u00e9s et \u00e0 cannelures profondes et bien d\u00e9finies. Au niveau de la t\u00eate, les volutes sont profond\u00e9ment creus\u00e9es, avec des bords noircis \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re des fabricants cr\u00e9monais. Le bouton est gros, le chanfrein \u00e0 angles tr\u00e8s l\u00e9gers, presque plats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A l\u2019exception de quelques d\u00e9tails, ce mod\u00e8le n\u2019\u00e9voluera pas durant sa carri\u00e8re, mais \u00e0 partir de 1829-1830, les coins seront amincis, moins larges et plus triangulaires, tandis que la courbe des C sera adoucie et que les <em>ff <\/em>&nbsp;seront allong\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a id=\"_ftn1\" href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Eric Blot, <em>Liuteria Italiana 1800 \u2013 1950, 150 anni di liuteria, 150 years of violinmaking in Piemonte, Piedmont<\/em>, Vol IV, Eric Blot Edizioni, 2001<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-13 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1440\" data-id=\"17041\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30.jpg\" alt=\"Joseph Guarnerius Fils d'Andrea, violon, vers 1700-1705, Vichy Ench\u00e8res, 30 novembre 2017\" class=\"wp-image-17041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30.jpg 960w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30-67x100.jpg 67w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Joseph Guarnerius Fils d&#8217;Andrea, violon, vers 1700-1705, Vichy Ench\u00e8res, 30 novembre 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20-pressenda-violon-1847-royal-academy-music-londres.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"17045\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20-pressenda-violon-1847-royal-academy-music-londres.jpg\" alt=\"G.

His work gave rise to the modern school of violin making in Turin and has been copied and imitated by several generations of makers since. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Even more than Guadagnini, who only worked in the city during the last period of his life, Pressenda put his mark on violin making in the region by developing a typically Piedmontese style, which quickly spread beyond the regional borders. The Piedmont region became the dominant region in the field of modern Italian violin making and, from the beginning of the 19th century until today, has produced first-class makers, of which the best are probably Pressenda and his pupil Rocca. It is worth noting that at that time, the political, economic and cultural situation in the city of Turin provided a fertile ground for the local musical scene and attracted musicians and makers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Pressenda was one of them, as he moved to Turin around 1817\/1818<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>,at the age of 40. Born on 6 January 1777 in Lequio-Berria in Piedmont, he was first a farmer near Alba and probably in Carmagnola. How did he come to violin making? There is no clear answer to this, but it is likely he was first an amateur violinist. It is difficult to retrace his professional career, because historical documents from this period are rare, but he could have trained with Alessandro D&#8217;Espine. We know for certain, however, that he worked initially in the workshop of L\u00e9t\u00e9-Pillement, as evidenced by an instrument with a handwritten note by Pressenda on its label, indicating that he revised and corrected the instrument under the supervision of L\u00e9t\u00e9<a id=\"_ftnref2\" href=\"#_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>. Following his employment at L\u00e9t\u00e9-Pillement, he set up on his own at n\u00b030 Contrada d\u2019Angennes, where he produced a series of high quality instruments which met with almost immediate success \u2013 which was rare at the time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>Umberto Azzolina, <em>Liuteria Italiana dell\u2019ottocento e del novecento, Italian violin making in the eighteen and nineteen hundreds<\/em>, 1989, editrice Turris Cremona<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" id=\"_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Eric Blot, <em>Liuteria Italiana 1800 \u2013 1950, 150 anni di liuteria, 150 years of violinmaking in Piemonte, Piedmont<\/em>, Vol IV, Eric Blot Edizioni, 2001, p60<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-24 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1599\" height=\"1091\" data-id=\"17005\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-turin-place-san-carlo.jpg\" alt=\"Turin, Place San Carlo\" class=\"wp-image-17005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-turin-place-san-carlo.jpg 1599w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-turin-place-san-carlo-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-turin-place-san-carlo-1024x699.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-turin-place-san-carlo-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-turin-place-san-carlo-1536x1048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-turin-place-san-carlo-1568x1070.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-turin-place-san-carlo-100x68.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1599px) 100vw, 1599px\" \/><figcaption>Turin, Place San Carlo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A rise to fame thanks to the support of musicians<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>His fame owes much to the arrival in Turin, in 1823, of the composer Giovanni Battista Polledro (1781-1853), first violin of the Turin Royal Chapel (<em>Cappella Regia<\/em>) of Carlo Felice, director of the Orchestra of the <em>Teatro Regio<\/em> until 1844. He took a lot of interest in the work of Pressenda and became one his greatest supporters, promoting the violin maker amongst other musicians, which allowed him to mix in musical circles and establish his position within them. Polledro&#8217;s successor, Giuseppe Ghebart (1796-1870) \u2013 a violinist, conductor and composer, also became one of his mentors. The support from these two great musicians was decisive, and Pressenda quickly became the most appreciated violin maker in Turin. During their stay in Turin, Polledro and Ghebart resided at 8 Contrada delle Rosine, a stone&#8217;s throw from Pressanda&#8217;s workshop. They were probably his main customers and referred many musicians to him for the design and manufacture of instruments<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>.

The Pressenda model is inspired by those of Stradivari and Guarneri del Ges\u00f9, whilst creating a new form reflecting his own ideas of the perfect instrument. The <em>modello Pressenda<\/em> is therefore very personal and is distinguishable by its full and clean shapes, which never become heavy \u2013 note the powerful and elegant scroll of the viola in the sale of 2 June 2022, and by the choice of wood, which is of great beauty and excellent acoustic quality. Towards the end of 1834, Pressenda hired Giuseppa Rocca, and he became his most brilliant apprentice and worthy successor. Rocca made instruments on the Pressenda model, and therefore some of his instruments are practically identical to those of the master.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>However, one of the makers most influenced by the Pressenda model was probably Annibale Fagnola (1866-1939), who made several beautiful copies based on it after settling in Turin in 1894. Vichy Ench\u00e8res sold several Fagnola instruments recently, as for instance a beautiful violin made in 1922 on a Pressenda model, complete with a facsimile of the master&#8217;s label inside the instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>modello Pressenda<\/em> was taken up by generations of makers in its wake and continues to seduce musicians and makers around the world today. During the sale of 2 June 2022, two other instruments from Turin makers will provide an insight into this school: a violin by Enrico Melegari from 1891 and another by Enrico Marchetti from 1917.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-27 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Although we know very little about the life of Giovanni Francesco Pressenda, certain facets of his personality shine through in his instruments \u2013 and particularly his labels, since an annotated element on them makes them stand out. Indeed, Pressenda used two types of labels, which differ in their graphic ornamentation, but retain the same Latin text: \u201cJoannes Franciscus Pressenda q. Raphael \/ fecit Taurini anno Domini 18xx\u201d. The mention \u201cq. Raphael\u201d means \u201cquondam Raphaelis\u201d, meaning \u201cson of the late Raphael\u201d. This wording was used in public documents and official acts, but was unusual in instrument labels<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. Therefore, these labels seem to reflect the importance that Pressenda&#8217;s father could have had in his personal and professional life, since it is an unusual tribute that leads to questions about the father&#8217;s activity. Was Raphael Pressenda also a maker and did his name speak to the musicians of the time? According to the few historical documents available, he would have indeed been involved in the musical life of his time, as a popular violinist. It was probably by seeing his father play the violin \u2013 and perhaps also adjusting some of them \u2013 that Pressenda became interested in the instrument and in violin making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Eric Blot, <em>Liuteria Italiana 1800 \u2013 1950, 150 anni di liuteria, 150 years of violinmaking in Piemonte, Piedmont<\/em>, Vol IV, Eric Blot Edizioni, 2001<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Another theory is that G. F. Pressenda mentioned the name of his father on his labels to give the fictitious impression that he was part of a long family tradition of violin making, in order to give historical depth to his instruments.

Within the workshop, Pressenda learned the French construction methods and became familiar with the form then in vogue in France. In particular, he used the inside mould of the French and not the Cremonese one<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. At L\u00e9t\u00e9-Pillement, he worked on guitars, organs and violins and learned from his French colleagues the techniques used in Mirecourt at that time, which he would later apply to his own instruments<a id=\"_ftnref2\" href=\"#_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> &#8211; as demonstrated by the viola in the sale of 2 June 2022. This instrument is inspired by the Mirecourt interpretation of the Stradivari model, in particular in the design of the square arches and the appearance of the varnish. In addition, as experts Jonathan Marolle and Jean-Jacques Rampal note, the bottom saddle is set in the rib, which is typical of what was done in Mirecourt at that time. <br>Later on, Pressenda collaborated with several other makers from Mirecourt, including Joseph Calot and Pierre Pacherel. The latter probably made parts, such as scrolls of f-holes, for his instruments. More than mere colleagues, Calot and Pacherel were real friends of Pressenda, who was godfather to Calot&#8217;s daughter in 1827 and best man at Pacherel&#8217;s wedding in 1829 \u2013 alongside L\u00e9opold Noiriel, probably another of his colleagues<a id=\"_ftnref3\" href=\"#_ftn3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a>. In its form and proportions, the Pressenda viola is indeed close to the work of these French masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Eric Blot, <em>Liuteria Italiana 1800 \u2013 1950, 150 anni di liuteria, 150 years of violinmaking in Piemonte, Piedmont<\/em>, Vol IV, Eric Blot Edizioni, 2001<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" id=\"_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Ibid<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref3\" id=\"_ftn3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a> Ibid<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-29 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1054\" data-id=\"17025\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt.jpg\" alt=\"Mirecourt\" class=\"wp-image-17025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-1536x1012.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-1568x1033.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-2-mirecourt-100x66.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Mirecourt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-3-pressenda-alto-1826-vichy-encheres-2022-06-02-bouton-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"17027\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/10-3-pressenda-alto-1826-vichy-encheres-2022-06-02-bouton-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"G.

The style of this period combines French and Italian influences and therefore the corresponding instruments display elements of both these schools. As a result, Pressenda&#8217;s work stands out from that of almost all other Italian makers of the time, especially since the Piedmont region had no real local tradition of violin making. On the Italian side, the instruments of Pressenda are closely inspired by Stradivari and Guarneri, but without being exact copies. The outlines are more masculine and wide, with rounder shoulders and bolder arches, especially near the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The viola in the 2 June 2022 sale is influenced by the Stradivari pattern and the whole instrument has been executed with a unique balance of proportions, so that the instrument displays a remarkable combination of strength and grace. This new model set the standards of Pressenda\u2019s personal style. He retained a sense of freedom and originality throughout his life, and did not subject himself to the dictates of a specific school. This viola also reflects his keen eye for detail and his refined and accomplished craftsmanship. It attests to the strong personality of its maker and is typical of the first years of the master.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It is an interesting viola, including from an acoustic point of view, and is the type of instrument that would have seduced the great musicians of the time, such as Polledro and Ghebart, his mentors. It should also be noted that Pressenda was very demanding in the choice of his timber and that it was probably supplied by French merchants, including Thiriot<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. ]. In addition, his instruments are distinguishable by their purfling, usually of ebony, finely inlaid in deep and precisely cut grooves. The scrolls are deeply hollowed out, with blackened chamfers in the manner of the Cremonese makers. The button is large, and the chamfer at a very slight, almost flat, angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the exception of a few details, this model did not change for the rest of his career. From 1829-1830, the corners became thinner, narrower and more triangular in shape, whilst the curve of the C-bouts was softened and the f-holes elongated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a id=\"_ftn1\" href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Eric Blot, <em>Liuteria Italiana 1800 \u2013 1950, 150 anni di liuteria, 150 years of violinmaking in Piemonte, Piedmont<\/em>, Vol IV, Eric Blot Edizioni, 2001<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-32 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1440\" data-id=\"17041\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30.jpg\" alt=\"Joseph Guarnerius Fils d'Andrea, violon, vers 1700-1705, Vichy Ench\u00e8res, 30 novembre 2017\" class=\"wp-image-17041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30.jpg 960w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-2-joseph-guarnerius-fils-andrea-violon-cc-1700-1705-vichy-encheres-2017-11-30-67x100.jpg 67w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Joseph Guarnerius Fils d&#8217;Andrea, violon, vers 1700-1705, Vichy Ench\u00e8res, 30 novembre 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20-pressenda-violon-1847-royal-academy-music-londres.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"17045\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20-pressenda-violon-1847-royal-academy-music-londres.jpg\" alt=\"G.

wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Pressenda&#8217;s instruments differ from almost all instruments of the Italian schools of the time, both in terms of craftsmanship and varnish \u2013 which is often exceptional as this viola demonstrates. This varnish, soft and rich in texture and colour, is the undeniable trademark of Pressenda and one of the most appreciated aspects of his work. After him, none of his colleagues, apprentices and successors managed to reproduce this varnish. Developed during the first part of his career, it was almost always used by the master from this point on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cPerhaps as a consequence to what he had learnt from Calot, Pressenda was able to produce a type of varnish more in line with those popular in Paris at that time. It was an oil varnish, spread in a few rather thick and very colourful coats.\u201d<\/p><cite>Eric Blot, <em>Liuteria Italiana 1800 \u2013 1950, 150 anni di liuteria, 150 years of violinmaking in Piemonte, Piedmont<\/em>, Vol IV, Eric Blot Edizioni, 2001<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-34 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"17047\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/21-antonio-stradivari-1644-1737-atelier-copyright-DR.jpg\" alt=\"Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) dans son atelier.

Indeed, this varnish, due to a unique method of application in several thick layers, often penetrated into the wood \u2013 leaving stains resulting from the absorption of the varnish by the wood fibres \u2013 and gives an inimitable appearance to his instruments, which gain in beauty with the natural wear of the varnish, as can be witnessed with the viola in the Vichy Ench\u00e8res sale of 2 June 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-35 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"16781\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Alto de Giovanni Francesco PRESSENDA\" class=\"wp-image-16781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-1568x2352.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-67x100.jpg 67w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"16783\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Alto de Giovanni Francesco PRESSENDA\" class=\"wp-image-16783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-1568x2352.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-2-67x100.jpg 67w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Alto de Giovanni Francesco PRESSENDA<br>Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 2 juin 2022<br>\u00a9 Christophe DARBELET<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pressenda viola: a real rarity on the market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Besides its historical, aesthetic and acoustic qualities, this viola is remarkable for its rarity on the market. Of the 95 Pressenda instruments sold at auction since 1998, only nine were violas. The last sale of an instrument of this type dates back to 2014. It is therefore the first time in eight years that a viola by Giovanni Francesco Pressenda has appeared on the market. It is a real event not to be missed, in particular since the instrument is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Maucotel et Deschamp!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, please note that the viola in the sale of 2 June 2022 is very similar to one of the rare other known models, made that same year of 1826, from the same wood, with a back also in one piece and with two small <em>chanteaux<\/em>. These twin violas are also the same size.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-36 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"378\" data-id=\"17049\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/24-gustave-francois-vente-encheres-galerie-georges-petit.jpg\" alt=\"Gustave Fran\u00e7ois, La vente aux ench\u00e8res dans la galerie Georges Petit\" class=\"wp-image-17049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/24-gustave-francois-vente-encheres-galerie-georges-petit.jpg 480w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/24-gustave-francois-vente-encheres-galerie-georges-petit-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/24-gustave-francois-vente-encheres-galerie-georges-petit-100x79.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>Gustave Fran\u00e7ois, La vente aux ench\u00e8res dans la galerie Georges Petit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-37 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"16781\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Alto de Giovanni Francesco PRESSENDA\" class=\"wp-image-16781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-1568x2352.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-06-02-quatuor-lot175-0674-8-pressenda-giovanni-francesco-1-67x100.jpg 67w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Alto de Giovanni Francesco PRESSENDA\nInstrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 2 juin 2022\n\u00a9 Christophe DARBELET<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/26-pressenda-alto-1826-vichy-encheres-2022-06-02-table-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1603\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"17051\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/26-pressenda-alto-1826-vichy-encheres-2022-06-02-table-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"G.
