At "Antiques Roadshow" in Baltimore, Maryland, this woman presents a violin and bow her husband acquired from a local violin shop in Washington, DC. Appraiser Fred Oster of Vintage Instruments, Inc. recognizes the instrument’s unique construction and materials as the work of Nicolas Lupot. The accompanying bow is identified as a 19th-century piece by Dominique Peccatte, one of the most influential bow makers in history. Together, violin and bow make beautiful music to the tune of $140,000 and $20,000 respectively.
