Guitar

georges chanot i(1801 – 1873)

Discover the exquisite violins of Georges Chanot I, a renowned French maker celebrated for his craftsmanship & tonal quality alongside J.B. Vuillaume.

This guitar is remarkable for its elaborate decoration, especially the fingerboard with its mother of pearl engraved and colored panels. The top seven sections of the fingerboard depict famous buildings and monuments, including the Palais du Luxembourg, Porte Saint-Denis, and the Ecole Militaire, while the lower panels depict musical instruments, arms and armor and floral motifs. The maker, George Chanot, made stringed instruments in Paris during the mid to late 19th century. There are reports that this guitar was shown at the world’s fair in London (1851). While it certainly is the type of highly decorated, showy instrument that might have been exhibited, we have yet to discover proof of its display, as well as evidence supporting the rumor that it was once owned by Empress Eugenie of France.
