I have genuine Nicolas Lupot violin from 1810 , rare piece modeled after
Guarnerius (only 2 instruments made by Lupot), certified by Jean Jaques Rampal of Paris. My late father used to play this amazing instrument.
I am not a player and I have decided to put this violin on the market.
I believe this great violin should be played and not to be locked in the
bank's vault. Please, could somebody advise me as how to proceed?

depends if you want fast cash or a higher price.
Fast cash I would take it to a known auction house with the certificate, Bonnhams, Skinner, Christies, southebys Butterfield...etc. Higher price I would take it to a major dealer in a large city like LA, NYC Chicago etc and leave it for consignment. Most likely take it to an auction house and get an fair market estimate before taking it to a dealer.

How much do you want for the fiddle, Do you have pictures of the instrument and the certificate?
