Provenance

The workshop of William Lewis & Son, c. 1925.

Anders Halvarson, second from left.

Anders Halvarson, c. 1960

Anders Halvarson (1900-1972) emigrated to the United States from Malung, Sweden in 1923.

He soon found a position with the Chicago firm of William Lewis & Son, where he elevated his violin and bow making and restoration skills, working with distinguished makers like Carl Becker Senior and Carl Becker Junior. In 1928 he left with Lewis sales associate William Myers to form Meyers-Halvarson Company in Nashville, Michigan, a rural community located between Grand Rapids and Lansing. Most of the high quality raw materials for bow and instrument making were acquired during this early period. The shop’s accessibility to other musical communities such as Kalamazoo, Detroit, and Ann Arbor supported a thriving business serving Michigan musicians for the next eighty years. The shop specialized in new instrument making, with a strong focus on fine reproductions of classical French bows. Mr. Halvarson’s work was recognized in many reference books, including Joseph Roda’s Bows for Musical Instruments.

P. Dameron Midgett is a violinmaker and historian, well known for his research, publications, and presentations on the subject of American Violinmakers, particularly those working in New England. As proprietor of Easthampton Violins for thirty years, he has catalogued and archived the country’s most extensive collection of instruments, tools, and artifacts relating to the history of violin making in the Northeast. He has chronicled the lives of the makers through research and personal relationships with families and descendants, and has presented his work in many venues, including The Smithsonian Institution.

2. All property is sold “as is,� and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.

3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser.
