    Collin-Mezin Violin 1901

    Charles Jean Baptiste Collin-Mezin (1841–1923) was a Parisian luthier who crafted violins, violas, cellos, basses, and bows. He established a name for himself in contemporary circles, noted for his fine craftsmanship and the brilliant tonal qualities of his instruments. This French-born luthier produced instruments in the style of Collin-Mezin or Vuillaume. He began his career as an apprentice to his father before moving to Belgium to work with Nicolas-Francois Vuillaume.

    In 1868, Colin moved to Paris and began crafting superior violins. As an Officier de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts, he won gold and silver medals in 1878, 1889, and 1900 at the Paris Exhibitions.

    Jean-Baptiste Colin, who produced excellent craftsmanship for many years, primarily in Mirecourt and Paris, passed away in Paris in 1923.
